The puck went off P-Bruins goaltender Brian Eklund's shoulder and trickled into the net. 58 seconds later Norfolk's Varobiev scored again. He put home a rebound off a shot from Matt Keith as the Admirals went into the first intermission leading 1-0.

In the second period the P-Bruins cut the Norfolk lead in half. Jonathan Sigalet fed Curry the puck and he blasted it past Norfolk netminder Corey Crawford from the blue line.
