The middle frame was all Killer Bees offensively. The Bees were able to find the back of the net five times in the second period. Each of the five goals was scored by a different member of the Killer Bee squad. The game turned physical after Killer Bee Brady Leavold laid a hit on Erik Boisvert. Trevor Hunt stepped in to defend his teammate, therefore dropping the mitts with Aaron Boogaard. The Bucks were outshot 14-6 in the period.
