Morgan Adams-Moisan scored his second goal of the game on a rebound after the original save was made by Tyler Brennan. Jake Gravelle picked up the only assist on Adams-Moisan's seven of the year with 4:18 left in the first period and the Lions took a 2-1 lead into the intermission.

Just 2:06 later, Patrick Grasso stepped up into the left circle and lifted a wrist shot over the right shoulder of goaltender Vincent Duplessis to give the Thunder a 3-2 lead with 3:22 remaining in the middle frame. Alex Campbell was awarded the lone assist on Grasso's sixth of the year.
Ryan Helliwell scored his first professional goal with 2:56 left in the second to give the Thunder a two-goal lead. The goal was Helliwell's first professional goal with assists from Justin Taylor and Matt Salhany and Adirondack took a 4-2 lead into the third period.
The Lions got one back in the third period as Logan Nijhoff sent a backhand shot over the left pad of Tyler Brennan at 5:32 of the third to pull within a goal. Riley Kidney and Joe Dunlap were credited with assists and Adirondack's lead was 4-3.
