Skelly collected his second goal of the game on a five-on-three power play opportunity as he buried home a rebound past a diving Wilson at the 8:26 mark. The Surge added to their lead at the 15:14 mark as Derek Graham scored on a breakaway through the five-hole of Wilson to put the home-team up by four.

In the third, the Surge tallied their final point as Adam Stuart hammered home a loose puck in the slot to beat Wilson and give the Surge the 5-0 victory.

David Wilson (1-1-0) took the loss stopping 37 of 42 shots against. Kiefer Smiley (1-1-1) picked up the victory as he stopped all 27 shots against.
