At 14:48 David Novotny, assisted by Jacob Arsenault, seized his chance to swing the scales for the Havoc, scoring his first goal for the team and reclaiming the lead at 3-2. Not long after, Matt Allen extended the lead for the Havoc to 4-2, sneaking the puck past the goaltender with the help of Novotny and Ryder.
