In the second period, Johnstown would beef up their shooting, yet it was the solid goaltending of MIKE AYERS that would keep it a one goal game until the 16:51 mark. JEFF SZWEZ found the back of the net to tie the score at one apiece, off assists by SCOTT CAMERON and MARCO CAPRARA. The period would end in a tie.

The game would not stayed tied for long, as Johnstown's Adam Henrich would score just:48 later, to once again go ahead by one goal. It was not to be however, as it was JAY LATULIPPE picking off a pass in the neutral zone and scoring an unassisted goal at the 10:33 mark to tie the game for the final time in the period. At the end of regulation, it was the Dayton Bombers and the Johnstwon Chiefs tied at 3. Shots on goal totaled 41-32 for Johnstown.
