Atlantic City opened the scoring with a shorthanded goal at 14:29 of the first period. Dave Reid worked the puck up the right wing to Jason Notermann, and Notermann ripped a slap shot past the blocker side of Wheeling goaltender Danny Sabourin to give the Bullies a 1-0 lead.

Wheeling's Brendon Hodge cut the deficit to 2-1 at 10:53 of the third period. Hodge took a beautiful cross-ice feed from Kenny Corupe at the left-wing circle and slapped the puck past Bullies goaltender Jake Moreland for the Nailers lone tally.
