• Feiner would go on to record his third hat trick of the season before halftime. Pulling the Hawks within one at 4-3, he answered a pair of unanswered goals from the Pioneers and cut the Hawks' deficit to two (6-4) before the break with his third score.

• Feiner bookended three straight Hartford goals to open the fourth quarter, taking a 10-9 lead with 7:10 remaining. The Pioneers didn't go away, though, as they knotted the game up at 10 with just over a minute remaining.  Feiner's sixth goal of the day with 18 seconds remaining put the Hawks ahead for the final time, giving them the 11-10 decision.
