Worcester kicked off the afternoon with an early power play turned 5-on-3 advantage at 5:39 in the first as Gargoyles forwards Josh Groll and Greg Smith shared time in the box for hooking. The play went unfulfilled before it was Worcester's turn to serve time. Max Ruoho took a seat for a high-stick at 18:25. While shorthanded, the Railers picked up their first goal of the afternoon from MacAuley Carson (6th) 13 seconds into the kill.

Two more goals late in the frame from Max Dorrington (6th) at 14:31 and Gleb Veremyev (4th) 1:24 later put Worcester up 4-0. Dorrington rushed down the sheet on a breakaway, trailed by Greensboro at his heels. His shot found the gap beneath Beaupit's elbow for his third goal in three games (3-0). Veremyev followed up shortly with his tally that poked the puck through Beaupit's five-hole on the doorstep amidst heavy traffic. The goal was initially reviewed by officials, and upon review was credited as a good goal, and the Railers headed into their final period with their lead grown to 4-0. Shots added up to 24-13 through the second, with Worcester leading for a second time, 13-9.

Adam Samuelsson (1st) finished things off for Worcester with his first goal as a Railer at 6:40 with a final eighth tally for the team as he drove the puck home and hit the top shelf.
