The Aces first goal came late in the first period from forward Mathew Sisca to cut the Eagles lead, 2-1, after one period of play.
Just 4:48 into the second stanza Eagles forward Kyle Ostrow scored his fourth goal in four games as he wrapped around the Aces net to give the Eagles the 3-1 advantage. Aces forward Brendan Connolly would slice the Eagles lead in half after taking advantage of a breakaway to put the puck past Cheverie, making it 3-2 Colorado after two periods.
Eagles forward Luke Fulghum joined Ostrow in scoring four goals in as many games, just 6:23 into the third period, to up the Eagles lead, 4-2.
