At the 8:05 mark Ryan Gallaher banged home a rebound off a Jason Douglas slapshot to increase the lead to two goals after one period of play. The teams exchanged second period goals.

Midway through the period Philip Livermore re-injured his leg and missed ,,the rest of the game. At this point the remaining nine play- ers seemed to put forth a second effort on each play and as a result played a super game, especially defensively. Goaltender Christian Feldskov came up big on several occasions. The remainder of the second period and the entire third frame was played without a goal being scored.
