The Nordiques power play would come to a close but they would get two more opportunities on the man advantage in the second that they couldn't convert on. Avery Sturtz would make some big time saves and Matt Connor would block 2 shots that were destined for goals in the game, but the Tomahawks took advantage of the Nords missed opportunities and score late in the second to make it 2-2.
