REG 3-3 at 13:30 - Braxton Whitehead (2), assisted by Zane Rowan and Jakob Brook // The Pats grind the puck down low in the ICE zone and work it around where it eventually got to Whitehead who put a shot on Beaupit that snuck by the ICE netminder to tie the game up at 3-3.

Third Period

WPG 4-5 at 2:58 - Matthew Savoie (8), assisted by Zach Benson // Just as a Pats powerplay came to an end, the ICE ended up on a three-on-one where Savoie was originally stopped but was able to grab his own rebound and tucked it over Kieper's pad to give the ICE yet another one-goal lead at 5-4.
