The Beacons and Trashers played a tight defensive game with neither team willing to give in. However, it was the Beacons who gave in first. Danbury tallied a goal in the second to take a 1-0 lead into the second intermission. The Beacons responded quickly at: 45 into the third when on the power play Chris Slater (2) scored unassisted. The game would end in regulation with a 1-1 tie. Josh Tataryn started the shootout with a goal but that would be all the scoring the Beacons would get. Danbury's second and third shooters both scored goals and with the Trashers goaltending holding strong, the Beacons fell 2-1, however, they still managed to get a point out of the nights efforts.
