After shutting down an early power play for Henderson, the Eagles would earn a two-minute, 5-on-3 power play opportunity and would take advantage. Barre-Boulet lit the lamp with a one-timer from the right circle, putting the Colorado up 1-0 at 10:10 of the first period. The Eagles would outscore the Silver Knights 9-5 in the first period and hold a 1-0 lead going into the first intermission.
In the second period, Henderson would tilt the ice in a big way as the Silver Knights put 10 shots on net while holding Colorado to a season-low shot in the midframe. Despite the disparity in odds, the Eagles would still be on top before the second break, 1-0.
A power play early in the third period would see Henderson tie things up, as forward Jonas Rondbjerg blasted a rebound in the low slot past Miner, tying the game at 1-1 just 2:55 into the final frame.
As regulation came to a close, still tied at 1-1, the match would move to sudden death overtime. In the extra session, Colorado capped off a 3-on-2 rush when Ahcan fielded a drop pass and hit a wrister into the back of the net, giving the Eagles the 2-1 victory.
Goaltender Carl Lindbom suffered the overtime loss in net, allowing two goals on 24 shots. Both teams finished the night 1-for-4 on the power play.
