Twenty seconds into the game, Carter Sotheran ripped home his first of the season from the slot, going bar-down in Seattle for the 1-0 Hawks lead. Kyle Chyzowski extended the lead to two with an incredible solo effort on the penalty kill, weaving through two T-birds and snapping a shot blocker-side to double the lead.
Ryan Miller added to the onslaught on the power play, threading a shot through traffic and past the goalie's glove to make it 3-0 Hawks at 8:54 of the second period. Seattle finally broke through late in the second and Marek Schlenker shut the door moments later with a sprawling save to preserve the two-goal cushion.
Just 1:13 into the third, Josh Zakreski pounced on a rebound and wristed home the power-play marker into a yawning cage for the 4-1 lead. Kyle McDonough pushed the lead to 5-1 midway through the third, roofing one from the top of the crease. Seattle scored once more near the end of regulation for the 5-2 final.
