The opening goal of the game came after the midway point of a 19-shot period, as the Swamp Rabbits took the lead with a shorthanded goal, his first of the postseason, by Alex Ierullo at 14:33. The Everblades tied the game at 18:11, as Levko Koper scored a shorthanded goal of his own.

In the second, the special teams units continued to find the scoresheet, but instead of the penalty kill units, the power-plays would light the lamp. At 16:41, Matteo Gennaro gave Florida the 2-1 lead with a man-advantage strike. Greenville Responded moments later, as Nikita Pavlychev scored his second of the series, a power-play tip-in at 17:37.

The third period saw the Everblades take a 3-2 advantage as Jake Jaremko's pass was deflected off of a Swamp Rabbits defenseman and into the net at 2:13. At 9:30, Greenville tied the game as Anthony Rinaldi fielded a loose puck and rifled it into the Florida net. Rinaldi's strike would ultimately force the game into overtime.

In overtime, Florida's Alex Aleardi scored a power-play goal at 7:41, securing the 4-3 win for the Everblades.

With the loss, the Swamp Rabbits fall behind 2-1 in the best-of-seven series to the Everblades.
