Giorgio Estephan opened the scoring for the second straight night at 11:43 of the opening period after whacking a loose puck in the crease behind Tyler Parsons for his 17th of the season with assists coming from The Bradley Bunch for a 1-0 Growlers lead. Marcus Power followed that up by re-directing a Brady Ferguson shot home with 3:28 to play in the first period for his 18th of the season and sending the home team to the dressing room up 2-0 after 20 minutes of play.

C.J. Eick of the Mavericks was awarded a penalty shot just 13 seconds into the second period, but struck the crossbar to preserve the 2-0 Growlers lead, and just under three minutes later Trey Bradley roofed a wrister for a 3-0 lead.

Tommy Panico fired a rebound home at 6:59 of the second period after capitalizing on a two-on-one rush for a 4-0 lead. Mavericks goaltender Tyler Parsons was pulled following the goal after allowing four goals on 17 shots and was replaced by Nick Schneider.

Matt Bradley kept the onslaught rolling with 8:13 to play in the middle frame when he fired a laser up and over Schneider on his first shot of the game for a 5-0 lead after 40 minutes.

David Dziurzynski broke Angus Redmond's shutout bid with 9:41 remaining in the game for a 5-1 score, but Giorgio Estephan responsed undressed a Mavericks defender and deked out Schneider for a highlight reel tally en route to his second of the night just over two minutes later, and Zach O'Brien went bar-down with 1:30 remaining in the game for a 7-1 final score.
