The Grizzlies doubled their lead seven minutes later, with Walker effectively doubling the lead. Dickinson notched his second point of the night with an assist on the goal.

The Grizzlies pushed their lead to 3-0 just three and a half minutes into the middle period on a goal from Caleb Herbert. Austin Carroll and Ryan Walters assisted on the goal. The lead was out to 4-0 shortly after that on a goal from former Maverick Eric Freschi. Utah goaltender Kevin Carr stopped all 15 of the Mavericks shots through two periods.

The Grizzlies made it 5-0 and snuffed out any hope for a Mavericks comeback with a goal from Carroll a minute and a half into the third period. C.J. Eick gave the Mavericks a spark of offense in the third period, but his goal with 7:30 left in regulation proved to be too little too late. Ben Halford finished the night with 21 saves on 26 shots.
