From there, the Steelheads score three in a row for a 4-1 lead in an eventual 5-3 win. The Gladiators battle back in Game Two behind 48 shots on net and a pair of Chris Durno goals to escape home ice with a split.

Reggie Berg scored the only goal of the game for the Everblades while Rob Zepp made 45 saves to blank the Reading Royals 1-0 to kick off the Eastern Conference Final.

Matt Pagnutti would tie the game before Ryan Brindley made it 4-3, and Chad LaRose added his second of the night for insurance to put Florida ahead 2-0 in the series. Back in Reading for Game Three, and with Cody Rudkowsky on recall to the American Hockey League, Steven Belanger made his ECHL debut by stopping 26 shots in a 6-0 Royals pasting of Florida.
