Plenty of action in both ends made for a high-energy game from the start.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Regina thought they were the first on the board but their goal was called off due to Zach Moore scoring with a broken stick.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yaroslav Bryzgalov<\/strong> broke the scoreless tie with his second goal of the playoffs at 7:47.
