BRAMPTON, Ont. (November 6, 2014) - Jeff Lee scored twice and added an assist and Evan Mosher made 35 saves as the Quad City Mallards (3-3-0-0) ripped off five unanswered goals on the way to a 5-1 victory over the host Brampton Beast (0-4-1-0) Thursday night.

The Mallard attack came alive only after Brampton's Tyler Donati swept in the opening goal from close range at 9:27 of the second period.  The Mallards were on the power play when Matt Duffy tied the game by sweeping home Justin Fox's goalmouth feed just 66 seconds later.  Mario Lamoureux gave the Mallards their first lead from the doorstep with just 7 seconds left in the second.

A mere 31 seconds into the third period, Joe Perry doubled the Mallard advantage from point blank range.  Lee pounced on a rebound to stretch gap to 4-1 at 16:50 of the third and capped off the win at 18:51 with a wrist shot from the slot.

Mosher was at his busiest in the third period, stopping 14 shots to set the stage for his teammates to put the Beast away.
