Langdon bolstered the lead with a shorthanded tally late in the second before Austin Yates, Oz Paziuk and Luca Fernandez scored three straight for the Panthers before the 15-minute mark of the third.

Blake Ellis got one back for the Huskies before Logan Smith rounded out the scoring for the Panthers, which improved to 3-7-0-2 with the win. Frankford is sitting at 6-9-0-0, including three wins over Port Hope this season. Carter Clarke registered three assists in the Panthers win.
