The Herd would get into penalty trouble later in the period and it resulted in a 5-on-3 advantage for Tri-City would convert when Evan Werner sent a pass from just inside the blueline down in front of the net to Kieran Cebrian who one-timed the puck into the net to make it a 1-1 game. Sioux Falls would kill off the second penalty and keep the game tied 1-1 at the end of one period with Tri-City outshooting the Herd 12-9.

The lead didn't last long as the Storm struck back when Evan Werner scored just minutes later. Four minutes later the Storm were back on the power play and converted again when Sebastian Tornqvist blasted a shot into the back of the net for a 3-2 lead at 14:47.
Less than two minutes later Sioux Falls found themselves on the power play and tied it up at 16:31 when Max Rud found Nick Ring who toe-dragged through the slot and wristed a shot right through the five-hole of the Tri-City goaltender to tie the game at three.
