Tri-City started the tonight's game with energy and controlled a majority of the first 20 minutes. They were able to get 17 shots on Everett goaltender Dustin Wolf, but yielded no goals. The game was scoreless heading into the second frame.

Everett was able to get on the board first tonight with a deflection from Bryce Kindopp early second period. Kyle Olson tied the game at 7:58 with a rebound goal on the power play.

The 17-year-old forward took an interference penalty that put the Americans on a late penalty kill. Scoring leader Parker AuCoin was able to create a breakaway opportunity for himself and tally the game-winning goal shorthanded.

Kyle Olson took a tripping penalty with 36 seconds remaining to give Everett one last opportunity with a man-advantage. The Americans were able to hold on and seal the victory. They finished 5/5 on the penalty kill tonight.
