The Gems hit the road for a long ride to Moline to face the Quad City Mallards. In their 4th game in 5 days, Dayton took control of the game barely 4 minutes into the 1st period when Preston Briggs scored with assists from Mike Vaskivuo and Pierce Norton for the only goal in the period. In the 2nd period, it was Norton finding the net with the help of Jon Ornelas. Less than 5 minutes later, short-handed, Corey Couturier would add another goal aided by Tim Hartung. Quad City, however, would come to life in the 3rd period, scoring 3 goals to tie it up and push the game into overtime. Neither team could score during the 5 minute overtime, so it was on to the shoot out. Dayton sent out Norton first, but was unable to score. Quad City was also denied by MacIntyre. Tim Hartung was successful, giving Dayton the advantage. MacIntyre held the Mallards yet again. John Snowden would take his turn, but his shot was blocked.
