David Bell opened the scoring with his second goal of the season on assists from Zdenek Blatny and Martin Masa 9:34 into the first period giving the Grrrowl a 1-0 lead, but Greensboro tied the game and then took the lead with a pair of goals 1:12 apart late in the period.
Jeff Zehr tied the score at 1-1 with his 15th goal of the season on assists from Jeff Bes and Dmitri Markvosky at 17:52. Andrei Lupandin then made it 2-1 with a power-play goal, his 17th goal of the season, on assists from Bes and Chris Brassard at 19:04.
James Desmarais gave Greensboro a 3-1 lead 1:45 into the second period with his 16th goal of the season on assists from Dennis Maxwell and Dion Lassu.
