Both teams had some excellent scoring opportunities and the game remained 0-0 after 1 period of play.

The second period saw the Point continue to have some good scoring chances with no success. Again Reinders came up with some big saves and the defense kept the Predators to the boards to keep it 0-0. The defense continued to play hard as the offense tried to find an opening. With a late period tripping penality, the Point was able to keep the game at 0-0 after two periods.

The third saw both teams continue their end-to-end action as the defense played a big role for both teams. At the 10 minute mark, Nathan Edlington was able to get the Point on the board with a wrap around from behind the net to squeeze the puck between the goalie and the post. The Point got themselves into trouble with another penality but were able to keep the Predators from tying the game. Noah Best put the game out of reach for the Predators with a goal late in the period to end it at 2-0 for the Point.
