Each team scored a goal in the second period, with Kyle Krutina getting the Eskymo goal, and Joey Jacobson getting the assist. But the Black Hawks scored with 13 seconds left in the second period when an Eskymo defenseman accidentally slipped it into his own net. It stayed 4-3 for Bloomfield Hills until Labre scored, with Carne drawing the assist. Counting the shootout winner, Carne had two goals and an assist for Escanaba. Escanaba improved to 9-10-0 on the season. Bloomfield Hills fell to 11-8-0. The Eskymos take on East Kentwood on Saturday afternoon in Chelsea.
