Kaleb Betts rushed down the right wing side and flipped a pass to Smith who rifled the puck behind Everblades netminder, Justin Peters at 2:54 giving the Checkers a 1-0 lead. Later, while sporting a man-advantage, the Everblades Derek Damon found a loose puck in the crease and slammed it home tying the contest at 7:27. Less than twenty second later, Dusty Jamieson answer backed when he busted into the Florida zone and flipped a backhander beating Peters and recapturing the one goal advantage at 7:41.
