The Bulls nearly made it 2-0 early in the second period as Logan Jenuwine, Alex Peterson and Nick Trela all missed chances in front of the net. It was a short time later, that the home side tied the game as Vaclav Zidek scored on a shot from the slot area.

There was a lengthy delay to start the third period due to ice problems. Once the game got back underway, Logan Jenuwine gave the Bulls the lead on a great shot from Alex Peterson. Late in the stanza, the Jackalopes tied the game again as Zidek scored on a wrist shot from the face-off circle.

In overtime, the Bulls just killed off a penalty to Ryan Lautenbach who was able to grab the puck and skate quickly up the ice. The young forward wired a shot to the top shelf to send the Bulls home with the victory.
