The Stingrays grabbed the lead late in the first period when forward Joe Devin buried his fourth goal of the season while on a 5-on-3 power play. Devin caught a backhanded pass from Diamond at the bottom of the left-wing circle and snapped a shot past the blocker of Gladiators goaltender Mark Guggenberger (W, 32 saves on 34 shots) at 17:38. Defenseman Michal Cajkovsky earned the second assist.

The Gladiators responded with two tallies from forward Greg Carey in the second period to take a 2-1 lead into the second intermission. Carey grabbed his first goal of the season at 4:52 while skating 4-on-4 with Gladiators forward Casey Pierro-Zabotel and Stingrays defenseman Wade Epp in the box for roughing. Moments later, Carey put the Gladiators on top at 7:48 beating Stingrays goaltender Brandon Anderson (L, 16 saves on 19 shots).

Carey completed the hat trick at 3:13 of the third period and sealed the victory with an empty-net marker at 19:17.
