The Cougars struggled to find their footing in the opening frame, taking five penalties and being outshot 23-5.

However, Spokane quickly responded with a power-play goal of their own at 11:52, ending Josh Ravensbergen's night in net after he made 32 saves on 36 shots. The Chiefs added a shorthanded goal at 14:34, increasing their lead to 5-1 by the end of the second period.
