Kiel Matisz matched Powless with two goals and three assists, Miles Thompson had a hat trick, Lyle Thompson had a goal and eight helpers and Jordan Hall produced a goal and five assists for the Swarm (6-1). Jerome Thompson and Jordan MacIntosh each scored once to round out the offence.

Kieran McArdle led the Rock (4-2) with three goals while Tom Schreiber had a goal and six points. Brett Hickey and Stephan Leblanc each had a goal and three assists, Dan Lintner struck twice while Latrell Harris, Damon Edwards, Brodie Merrill and Turner Evans added singles.

Mike Poulin made 52 saves for the victory while Nick Rose stopped 49 shots in defeat.

Georgia went 5 for 6 on the power play while Toronto was 3 for 7.

"It was a game you want to come out of on the right side of, but we didn't, and that's disappointing," said Rock coach Matt Sawyer.

"We're bound to face some adversity in the season, this is our first real test of it. We have to have a real short memory and forget about what happened tonight."
