The only penalty of the period was awarded to Templeton for tripping, but the Generals killed it off with no problems.

The Generals outshot the Wolves 16-6 in the first period.

Mitchell Vande Sompel scored at 9:33, assisted by Carlisle and Lindberg. Michael Turner took a puck to the neck and left the ice with the paramedics. After returning to the Generals bench, Turner scored on his first shift back, assisted by Latour and Lindberg at 13:44. Less than a minute later, Sonny Hertzberg scored his first OHL goal, assisted by Vande Sompel and Lindberg. Nearing the end of the period at 17:24, Mayo left the ice on a delay of game call and the Generals capitalized on the opportunity. Lindberg put another past Timpano at 18:37, assisted by Dal Colle and Vande Sompel. But the Generals weren't done there. Aidan Wallace scored his second of the game with only 11 seconds remaining in the period, this time assisted by Latour and Wallace.
