The Crunch tied the game 1-1 at 8:59 of the opening stanza. Josh Green received the puck from Nicolas Deschamps before blasting a shot on net. Hamilton starting goaltender Curtis Sanford made the save but was unable to control the rebound, allowing Kyle Palmieri to grab the loose puck and fire it past the goaltender.
Kyle Klubertanz regained the lead for the Bulldogs at 10:49 of the first period with a power-play goal. Dustin Boyd carried the puck into the Syracuse zone before feeding a pass to Klubertanz.
