Jersey took their 1-0 lead into the second period, but Danbury's offense came to life. Matt Cosmos and Jonathan Lounsbury each scored their 3rd goals of the season to give Danbury a 2-1 advantage. Becker scored his second of the night on the power play on a pass in front of the crease from Matt Puntureri to tie the game at 2-2. However the Mad Hatters would pull away on the back of Erik Kent.

Kent would score a total of four goals on the night, including two off of spectacular passes from teammate Obi Aduba.
