In the first period, James Stefan netted his 14th goal of the season as Austin Magera extended his point streak to nine games with an assist at 12:23 for the period's only score.

At 4:09 of the second period, defensemen Reese Harsch connected with Anthony Petruzzelli and Trevor Janicke for his third goal of the campaign, beating Cincinnati goaltender Ken Appleby. Matt Miller followed Harsch's tally with his second of the season, with assists going to Harsch and Dru Krebs at 7:20. The scoring was concluded in the period when Magera zipped the puck over the shoulder of Appleby for his second point of the game at 16:29 to make it a 4-0 after two periods.

The Komets started the third period on a power-play, and Blake Murray promptly deposited the puck past reliever Tommy Scarfone at:48 with helpers going to Stefan and Krebs to make the game 5-0.
