St. Charles, Mo. - The Chill battled back from a first period 2-0 deficit to take a 3-2 lead early in the third on the first goal of the season for Sean Muncy, but the Beast retaliated with three goals in a four minute period to pull out a 5-3 win.

The Chill tied the game at 2-2 just over two minutes into the final period on a wrist shot from Jordan Fox from just inside the blue line. Martin Hlinka and Kyle O'Kane picked up the assist on the goal before Muncy gave St. Charles the lead. Steve Anthony and Muncy put pressure on Beast goalie Grant Rollheiser forcing him into a turnover and Muncy buried the loose puck for a 3-2 Chill lead.

Brampton would tie the score at 3-3 in the middle of the third on a penalty shot from Scott Howes before the Beast took the lead 4-3 and put the game away at 5-3 with just under six minutes remaining.
