Kindopp opened the scoring on a power play goal, depositing a rebound at the left post with 6:58 left in the first period after Cole Fonstad delivered his first of two assists in the game. Just 1:16 later, Michal Gut re-directed a Jackson Berezowski feed off the rush past Beck Warm's blocker to lift the Tips to a 2-0 lead.

Wolf came up with a huge glove save on Sasha Mutala in the second period to maintain the lead, and the Tips followed by cashing in with a two-on-none opportunity. Max Patterson, fresh off a stolen puck, found Dawson Butt driving the net and fed a tape-to-tape pass. Butt turned a backhander past Warm for a 3-0 advantage and his first goal of the season with 8:03 left in the second period.

Sasha Mutala's fifth goal of the year, a snap shot through traffic from the blueline, got Tri-City on the board at 14:12. But the Tips responded in the third period on Gage Goncalves' loose puck opportunity at 9:30, at the left post for a 4-1 lead.

Bryce Kindopp sealed the game with an empty netter, with 3:08 left in regulation to seal the victory.
