Late in the second, with only 11 seconds left in the period, Jan Eberle put one on the board for the Thunderbirds. His power play tally was assisted by Bud Holloway. Peter Mueller responded for the Silvertips midway through the third period. While Everett was on the power play, Peter Mueller wristed a bullet right into the back of the net.

He made 26 saves on 27 shots and betters his record to 24-4-0-2. Derek Yeomans, Seattle's netminder, stopped 22/25 but falls to 16-10-1-9 with the loss.
