Petrus Palmu would tie the game at two apiece with a wicked wrister from the high slot before Santino Centorame's 2nd goal of the game would give the Attack a one goal lead just over a minute later.

Bryson Cianfrone continued the scoring flurry by making it a 4-2 lead for the Attack with just 1:42 left in the stanza.

Tyler MacArthur earned an assist on Palmu's goal, while the Attack's Finnish import would assist on the 2nd period goals by Centorame and Cianfrone. Jacob Busch and Ethan Szypula also joined in on the scoring picking up assists on the Attack's 3rd and 4th goals respectively.

Completeing the hat-trick was Dante Salituro, who gave the visitors a 6-5 lead at the 6:31 mark of the frame, prompting the Attack to bring Michael McNiven off of the bench in relief of Dekoning.

McNiven was tested quickly, and responded with a pair of quick saves but the 67's were able to get to him as well.

The game's 12th goal was scored just 1:07 after the change in net was made, and came off of the stick of Trent Malette, who gave the 67's a two goal advantage.

Malette's goal would wind up being the game's final marker as the Attack failed to capitalize on a five minute Baywest Nissan Powerplay as time wound down in the 3rd period.
