Three minutes into the 2^nd, the Thunderbirds failed to clear out of their own zone. Guttman had the puck jump to his stick in-between the circles and then beat the Springfield netminder between his legs.

In the early stages of the 3^rd, Thunderbirds captain Matthew Peca won a draw straight back to defenseman Tyler Tucker who wristed in the 1-1 tying goal from the blue line.
