The second period ended goalless and it remained with only a goal between the teams going into the third. At 44.59 Mac Faulkner got the Devils back on level terms and the he netted again at 55.27 to put the visitors in front. The Steelers pulled their goalie at 58.49 for the extra skater. However, they failed to find a way through and the Devils held on to take the points back to the Welsh Capital and move up to third in the league standings.
