Coventry took full control of the game with two goals in a minute during the second period to make it 3-0 after 40 minutes.
Johnny Curran made it 2-0 with his ninth goal of the regular season at 35.36 before Colton Yellow Horn scored his eighth goal and 21st point which leads the team and ranks fourth of all players in the league.
