Brandon Stanley would score on the wrap around a minute and 7 seconds in to the 2nd to keep the pressure on. Both teams would trade opportunities, but it would be the lone goal of the second.
Just over halfway through the 3rd, Wowryk would score a patient goal as he waited for Bengert to bite leaving him the top corner. Knaub would add a 5-hole ice burner on a breakaway for the 5-1 final.
