Then shortly after the Hodass tally, Cayden Lindstrom (Chetwynd, BC) would one-time his 11th and second straight game with a goal to make it 2-0 from Hunter St. Martin (Edmonton, AB) & Krebs at 4:27.

Off to the second period where the ICE continued their offensive output thanks to a breakaway goal from Easton Armstrong at 2:27, followed by McClennon for his hat-trick 12:22 to make 5-2 and spelling the end of the for Langkow as Evan may (Nanaimo, BC) would come in relief. But Zach Ostapchuk would get his second of the night at 16:59 to increase the ICE lead to 6-2 after 2.

In the final frame Conor Geekie and Vladislav Shilo would add to the ICE lead of 8-2 before Tomas Mrsic would solve ICE goaltender Mason Beaupit at 6:39 to make it 8-3. Brayden Boehm would set-up Mrsic's 6th of the season.
