Phoenix pulled ahead 3-2 when Daniel Sisca scored early in the third to put the Roadrunners up 3-2. The Kings would respond when Marc-Andre Bernier snapped a shot past Cody Rudkowsky after receiving a centering pass from Chris St. Jacques. Neither team was able to break the 3-3 tie in regulation so the teams went to overtime.
In the extra session, Wes Goldie took a pass from Ryan Wade and was able to beat Rudkowsky for the overtime winner at the 3:08 mark. Salmon Kings 4 Roadrunners 3.
