Another power play goal would put the Checkers up 3-0 when Matthew Ford cleaned up a rebound point shot by Brouillette at 7:59.

The Checkers extended their lead when Andreas Jamtin was the beneficieary of a lucky bounce right in front of the Lynx net as the puck flipped right to an unknowing Helenius making it easy for Jamtin to slam it home at 1:07.

Jeff Miles would add another goal in the third frame as he beat the Lynx netminder between the legs at 5:35 extending the lead to 5-0 and this is the way the game would end. Jeff Jakaitis would secure the shutout as he has won all four games he has played this season.
