The Bulldogs opened the game's scoring at 13:16 of the first period. Andreas Engqvist carried the puck down the left side of the ice on a two-on-one with Ian Schultz. Engqvist backhanded a pass across the ice that went underneath a sprawling Stars defenceman. Schultz dove at the pass before tapping the puck past Texas starting Richard Bachman and into the back of the net for his first professional goal.
The Stars tied the game 1-1 at 14:54 of the first frame. Greg Rallo carried the puck towards the net before backhanding a shot on net. Hamilton starting goaltender Drew MacIntyre was unable to control the rebound which allowed Travis Morin to jam the puck underneath the goaltender.

Andrew Conboy grabbed the loose rebound before shovelling the puck past Bachman and into the net. Hunter Bishop made the game 3-1 at 18:17.

The Stars added a goal at 19:55 of the final frame on the power play. Maxime Fortunus fired a shot on net that bounced out into the crease and created a scramble. Morin jammed the loose puck past MacIntyre and into the back of the net.
