Jason Dixon carried the momentum for the Mallards notching a shorthanded goal at the 11:38 mark, doubling the lead. However, Jarrett Konkle would answer just 1:28 later with a blast from the high slot that would eventually trickle past Mallards goaltender Neil Conway to cut the lead to one goal by first intermission. With an assist on the goal, reigning CHL Player of the Week, Winston Day Chief, extended his point streak to seven games.

The second period was controlled by the Mallards as they pulled away beginning with Shayne Toporowski's powerplay goal at 4:55 to reclaim the two goal advantage. Quad City tacked on two more goals by the end of the period from Darren McMillan at 6:15 and Matt Duffy at 18:20 to make it 5-1 heading into the third

Rush team captain Scott Wray would cut into the lead at 11:40, capitalizing on a fortuitous bounce off the glass for his 20th goal of the year. It marks the 12th time in the 14-year veteran's career that he has reached the plateau. The Mallards would respond when Mickey Lang converted on a penalty shot at 14:15.
