At 7:15 Viliam Kmec scored his first American Hockey League goal from Trevor Connelly and Kai Uchacz.

Abbotsford got two quick goals to start the third from Ty Mueller and Chase Stillman to tie the game at 4-4. Four-minutes later, Dylan Coghlan fired the puck in from the blue line to make it 5-4. Later in the third, Mitch McLain lasered a pass to Uchacz for a goal off the rush to take a 6-4 lead. While playing 6-on-4, Abbotsford’s Danila Klimovich brought the game to within one goal, 6-5.
