A power play for San Diego would lead to the first goal of the game, as forward Matthew Phillips lined up a centering feed between the circles and buried a wrister, putting the Gulls up 1-0 at 8:41 of the first period. San Diego would outscore the Eagles 11-6 in the first twenty minutes and had a 1-0 lead going into the first intermission.
Colorado would tie things up when Yoon lit the lamp with a shot from the high slot, tying the game at 1-1 with 5:28 left in the second period. The goal was Yoon’s first in an Eagles jersey and the third of his AHL career.
Still deadlocked at 1-1 when the puck dropped in the third period, Colorado jumped into the driver’s seat when Attard collected a pass on the side of the crease and capped it over. The goal was Attard’s first of the season and gave the Eagles a 2–1 lead at 5:53 of the final frame.
The Gulls would pull goalkeeper Ville Husso back in the final minutes of the game, but it would be Middleton who would capitalize with an empty-netter from deep in his own zone, securing the 3-1 scoreline with just 1:23 to play in the game.
Colorado finished the night 0-for-3 on the power play, while San Diego hit one of four chances on the man advantage. Husso suffered the loss in net, allowing two goals on 28 shots.
