Victoria, BC- The Idaho Steelheads (38-22-4) tied a season-high with seven goals in their 7-1 victory over the Victoria Salmon Kings (35-25-7) in front of 6,314 fans at the Save-On Foods Memorial Centre. Darrell Hay tied a Steelheads individual season-high with four points in the win.

The Steelheads scored the lone goal in the first period at the 18:21 mark; it was Marty Flichel's 15th of the season on a one-timer. Darrell Hay and Brandon Svendsen assisted on the goal.

At 2:08 of the first period, Adam Welch scored his first professional goal; assisting on the goal was Matt Cook, who earned his first professional point, and Ben Nelson.
