Two days later, Lomsnes would add another point to the weekend with an assist in the second period of Sunday’s 5-2 loss.

Michaud led the team with four points on the weekend, including one goal and one assist in each game. In Friday’s loss, Michaud also assisted on Howe’s first period goal as well as scored the game-tying goal with 17.3 seconds remaining in the third period to send the game into overtime. On Sunday, the alternate captain’s second period power play goal gave the IceRays a 2-1 lead in the second period, their first lead of the 2014-15 season.
