Starting the game with energy, the Nailers scored the game's first goal just four minutes into the contest. Walking down the slot, Morgan Ellis (11th) lifted a wrister over the blocker of Joel Martin

After a scoreless second period, the K-Wings wasted no time to get on the board to start the final stanza. Just 14-seconds in, Dane Fox (12th) tipped in a loose puck from just in front of the Nailers crease to even the game at 1-1. The goal tied Fox for the team lead with Matt Caria for goals scored.
