The 6-foot-3 wing struck with a wrist shot just 25-seconds into the game to give the Aces a 1-0 lead. He out the lamp-lighter back to work nine minutes later by cutting to the net and directing a Mike Ryan pass into the Pelicans cage. Armia now has five goals and eight points heading into Friday's game with the Blues.
