The Salmon Kings struck first when Brady Leavold tallied his sixth goal of the season. Patrick Coulombe came down the left wing where he handed a pass to Olivier Filion. The Kings' center-man took a backhand shot where it hit a few bodies in front of the net, the puck then was lifted in the air and Leavold waited until it got under the cross bar and batted home his third goal in the last three games.
