Hassli finished off a nice drop pass from Sebastien LeToux for the first goal.

Right off the ensuing faceoff, Nguyen scored the tying goal, his first of the season on his 18th shot.

Sene scored his team-best fourth goal of the season, a shot off the left wing to the far low right corner of the Vancouver net past goalkeeper Joe Cannon with Nguyen assisting.

Joseph added his first goal of the season, snapping a 15-game drought dating to last season, banging a right-footed shot to the lower left corner after a cross from Sene.
