The Gladiators cut the lead in half at 12:04 when forward Will MacDonald completed a 2-on-1 rush with forward Travis Ouellette to beat Stingrays netminder Adam Morrison (W, 18 saves on 21 shots) over the glove.

DeBlois reclaimed a two-goal lead on the power play 1:27 into the second period with help from defenseman Drew MacKenzie and Pimm and completed the hat trick, also on the man-advantage, at 7:20 snapping a one-time pass from MacKenzie over the blocker of Brown from the left-wing circle. Rowe chipped in the second assist. Gladiators forward Garry Nunn made it 4-2 with a power-play goal at 12:52.

Nunn pulled the contest within one at 6:01 of the final frame, but the Stingrays added two more tallies to solidify the victory. DeBlois buried his four goal of the game from Rowe and MacKenzie at 9:03 followed by Ammon's fifth goal of the season at 17:02 from Rowe and defenseman Marcus Perrier.
