Wheeling evened the game in the third period with a shorthanded tally from Zack Torquato (3rd) 13:54 into the stanza.

Remained tied until the shootout, where the Nailers outscored the K-Wings 2-1 in the extra session. Wheeling earned goals from Keven Veilleux and the eventual game-winner from Torquato, while Kalamazoo earned their lone goal in the shootout off the stick of Alexandre Grenier.
