The second saw the Point almost get on the board with a shot hitting the post in the first minute of play. With the momentum going with the Point, Best made an end-to-end drive and deked the goalie with a backhand to give the Point a 1-0 lead. Action was fast for most of the period with both teams getting scoring opportunities but the period end 1-0 for the Hawks.

The third period saw the Hawks take a two goal lead when Riddell drove the puck into the zone and passed it to Best who shot with Riddell getting the rebound to make it 2-0. The Rockets capitalized when the Hawks couldn’t clear their zone and made it 2-1 with 10 minutes to play in the game. Action continued to be fast and Reinders came up big with four minutes remaining to keep the Hawks one goal lead. As the game came to a close and a Hawks player was in the penalty box, the Rockets tried to score with a 6-on-4
