After the Beast tied it at 2 in the third, Falkovsky wristed home his third goal high in the net at 13:53 and hats rained down onto the ice.

Brampton wouldn’t go away, however, as Chris Auger’s goal at 16:27 sent it into overtime.

In the shootout, Falkovsky scored from close range on a little poke past D’Agostini.

“You think he’s going to lean into it, but he’s got good reach and he just uses his hand real well,” MacLean said.

And while Falkovsky contributed the only goal in the shootout, from overtime onward was Tom McCollum’s time. For the second time in two nights, McCollum was strong between the pipes, making 26 saves through overtime and stopping all three shots in the shootout.

“We had a back end that was a little short defensively, so lot of credit to them and to Tom McCollum for coming up big that way,” MacLean said. “It is really nice to get to Sunday with four points (this weekend).”

MacLean said he didn’t want to put any added pressure on his players, but he felt it playing before such a large crowd on Adirondack Hockey Hall of Fame weekend.

“When you have a front office that can pack the building, and the Hall of Fame weekend, and people that have built hockey in this town here,” MacLean said, “you want really badly to just put on a good show for them and send them home happy.”
