Sergei Kuznetsov scored the only goal of the second period, notching his 11th of the year on the power-play from Mike Scott and Chris Allen to make it a 3-2 game.

In the third, Kuznetsov struck again, this time connecting on his 12th of the season from Travis Lisabeth and Mike Scott.

Then Steffon Walby got the game-winner at 9:03, notching his 42nd goal from Cody Bowtell and David Cornacchia.

Mississippi outshot Arkansas 40-26 for the game, and were 1-for-7 on the power-play. The RiverBlades were 1-for-7 as well.

Jimi St. John made 36 saves in net for Arkansas, but took the loss. Greg Gardner stopped 23 to get the win for Mississippi.
