Jacob Micflikier picked up his first tally of the year on a great pass from Rob Hennigar on a two-on-one break. The Walleye would cut the Everblade lead in half just three minutes later as the Walleye notched their first goal in their new building - Two Walleye fish littered the ice. Maxime Tanguay was credited with the goal.
