Evan Groening would score on a penalty shot with 13 minutes to go to add to the lead. Only 26 seconds later the line of Calder Anderson, Nolan Ritchie and Rylen Roersma would connect on a tic tac toe play allowing Roersma to score his 3rd of the year to make it 3-0 Wheat Kings midway through the hockey game.

In the final frame the Wheat Kings would allow three goals from the Royals. Tanner Scott, Jake Poole, and Caleb Willms all scored to put the game out of reach allowing the Royals to skate off with their second straight win of the season.
