In game one of this series Wednesday, the Aces came out with great energy and stood toe to toe with the Eagles, who were determined to establish a physical game. However, the energy waned as the game went along, and Alaska suffered a 5-2 loss. Dax Lauwers scored on a nice one-time bomb from the blue line that just got over the shoulder of Colorado goaltender Kent Simpson and under the crossbar. Later in the game Tim Coffman snapped a shot from the right circle on the run, but it wasn't enough to thwart the Colorado power play that scored twice.
Michael Garteig stopped 29 shots in the Alaska net.
The loss ended a three-game Aces win streak, and perpetuated a Colorado win streak that has now reached 4 games.
