The Bucks were outshot 16-13 in the first.
Arizona jumped on the board twice within the first five minutes of the second period, taking a 2-0 lead. However, Neil Trimm cut the lead to one on an odd-man rush at 5:39.

The Sundogs scored an empty net goal with only 55 seconds left in the game, giving them a 3-1 lead. The Bucks pulled the goalie once again, but were unable to light the lamp before time expired.
