Quinn McIntosh and Eric Schultz scored for the Maroons in the first period before Scott Arnold scored in the second period for the Arrows to make it a one goal game going into the third period. The Arrows had one power play opportunity in the game and took advantage of it half way through the third period as Mark Ardelan scored to tie the game at two. Just 37 seconds later Stuart Holland scored to give the Arrows their first lead of the game in the third period. Eric Schultz would score his second goal of the game to tie the game for the Maroons but less than a minute later Jared Molnar would score what turned out to be the winner and the Arrows won 4-3 on home ice. There were just three penalties in the game. Nathan Fischl picked up the win in net for the Arrows and Jeremy Ellis was in net for the Maroons.
