The Penguins and Brahmas were back at it late in the afternoon for game 2.  Although the Penguins outshot the Brahmas for most of the game, it was deadlocked 0-0 until, with one minute left, Rafael Praysner managed to break through with a goal, assisted by Ryan Casey and Brendan Skinner.  Griffin Sugasawara finished the scoring with an empty net goal 16 seconds later.  Evan Williams earned the shutout and the win, saving all 11 shots he faced.
