Alaska outshot the San Francisco 13-3 in the period and opened the scoring when Zach Harrison tallied his first of the year from the right circle at 12:47 of the period. William Wrenn then made it 2-0 with his third goal of the season at 18:40. In between the goals Aces forward Joey Crabb pulled off balance on a breakaway and awarded a penalty shot, but shot wide on his opportunity.
The Aces added a quick goal early in the second to extend their lead. Brandon Dubinsky scored his fifth goal of the weekend on a power play at 1:44 to make it 3-0.

But San Francisco got back into the game with a pair of late goals in the second period. Peter Sivak scored at 18:29, and then Evan Barlow scored on a wraparound 33 seconds later. Barlow's goal was originally waived off by referee Dan Jablonski, however after a conference with both linesmen and the goal judge, Jabolonski awarded the goal to the Bulls making it a one-goal game entering the third. Alaska outshot San Francisco 11-6 in the period.
