The Monsters controlled the middle frame thanks to Jake Gaudet's first professional goal at 2:33 with helpers from Billy Sweezey and Tim Berni, followed by a Josh Dunne marker at 9:44 with assists to Brendan Gaunce and Kevin Stenlund, which gave Cleveland a 3-2 advantage entering the final period. The Wolves used a goal from Andrew Poturalski to tie things up again 24 seconds into period three, before Stefan Noesen put Chicago up for good with a goal at 9:53 on the power play, giving Chicago a 4-3 victory.
