Hayden Smallwood (Margate/Ocean City) dished the assists on the two Swedlund goals.
The squads battled to a 4-3 Stockton advantage in the third frame, with Swedlund, Capozzoli and a pair from Poli helping pad the lead to 12-8 after three.
Evan Hilla (Brielle/Manasquan) dished his first career assist on Swedlund's third of the night.
The Ospreys took over the game in the final period, hitting the net nine times and finishing off the 21-10 victory. Swedlund scored three times, with Smallwood and
Connor Albrecht (Doylestown, PA/Central Bucks West) scoring two tallies each. Poli added two helpers and a goal, with
Brendan McHale (Montville/Montville) also dishing a pair of assists in the runaway final frame.
Poli scored four goals and had three assists for seven points on the night in support of Swedlund. Capozzoli and Albrecht both tallied three goals, with D'Arminio tying Poli with three assists.
Horvath was outstanding again, winning 23-34 faceoffs (.676), and scooping a game-high 10 ground balls.
Logan Holleritter (Oak Ridge/Jefferson Twp.) had six ground balls and caused two turnovers, as did
