The Dayton Gems traveled to U.S. Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington to face the Prairie Thunder. The Gems came on strong right out the gate when Dayton's Mike Vaskivuo scored with only 2:35 played in the 1st period. It took the Thunder only 2:32 to tie it up. Defensive play would hold the points at 1-1 until less than 3 minutes remained when Bloomington took the lead. In the 2nd Bloomington would score 3 more times. The Gems newcomer Matt Smyth would find the net for his first time in a Gems sweater with assists from Nathan Oke and Joe Van Culin during a powerplay. That would end the scoring in a game that accumulated 97 minutes of penalties between both teams (29 minutes of which belonged to the Gems) with the majority of those occurring in the last 3 minutes of the game.
