It was the ICE scoring right off the bat in the second. Isaac Johnson scored on a pass from Peyton Krebs to give the ICE a 2-1 lead. The Rebels answered right back as Isley recorded his second of the evening. Two minutes after that, Ben King scored for the Rebels to take a 3-2 lead and they would hang on to that lead heading into the third period.
