The offense continued for the Cyclones and struck once more, 6:57 into the period, when forward Jesse Schultz fed Vaive on the back door and he tapped it into the net to give Cincinnati a 4-1 lead. Indy managed to cut their deficit in half before the break, as Rupert netted his second of the game to pull the Fuel to within a pair, 4-2, through 40 minutes.

Cincinnati sealed the game at the 6:44 mark of the third when Stephens took the puck on the left side and turned the corner on traffic, before launching a shot in after getting his own rebound, to lift the 'Clones to a 5-2 victory.
