Saturday, November 22 @ Florida Everblades 3 PRIDE 1

This game started out much better for the Pride, as they got on the board first thanks to a Shaun Sutter power-play goal 7:10 into the first period. It stayed that way until late in the second period when Florida's Brian McCullough tied it with a power-play goal of his own. The Everblades got the game-winner from Reggie Berg on a goal-mouth scramble with 5:35 to play, and added an empty-netter from Keith Anderson to set the final.
