Nathan Burke took the Fuel's first penalty of the game with an unsportsmanlike conduct call at 5:22 but that penalty was killed off.
At 14:56, a fight broke out along the boards resulting in two-minute roughing minors for Andrew Bellant and Allen's Brayden Watts, ten-minute misconduct penalties for Nick Grima and Allen's Artyom Kulakov, and an additional two-minute roughing minor for Lucas Brenton.

Thomas Farrell scored his first goal of the season at 8:43 to make it 5-0 in favor of the Fuel. Spodniak claimed the primary assist on that goal while Martin picked up his third assist of the game with the secondary assist.
At 10:00, Grima headed to the box again for tripping, then at 11:36, Jordan Martin took a delay of game penalty but the Americans could not score on the power play.
