Recently appointed captain Russell Cowley got the Blaze back on level terms as he found the net at 28.42. With neither team able to make any of the chances count the teams went in after two periods of hockey level at two apiece.

The game was ended as a contest as the Devils hit four by the 9^th minute of the third period. A brace from Ben Davies set the Devils on the road he got his first 10 seconds into the third period and struck again at 43.22 to open up a two goal lead.
