Noah Gregor extended it to 3-0 at 19:42 when he received a drop pass by Svechnikov at the right point, skated into the left circle and scored stick side.
"I think we just didn't skate," Gourde said. "We didn't skate hard enough. They dictated the pace of the game [and] we adjusted to them, which should never happen with our group. I think our group is good enough that we should impose the pace of the game every single night, and they were quicker than us."
Michael Eyssimont tipped in a centering pass by Couture from the left boards at 16:57 of the third period for the 4-0 final.
"This is a really good team we just beat tonight," Quinn said. "It's good to see that we can step up our game when we need to."
