The Thunder came out furious in period two and tied the contest up on a goal from Justin LaPorte. Just under four minutes later Alex Storjohann scored on the power-play to give Columbus their lead back. Dan Cangelosi would tie things up late in the period to make it 2-2. It felt like just one goal either way in the third would be the difference.

The third period was tight-checking and gritty. Both goalies made a few big saves to bail their teams out. There was only one goal in period three and it was the game-winner. Ryan Marker scored on a breakaway to give Delaware a 3-2 win! Trevor Babin stopped 51/53 during the contest.
