Aidan Puley tan tied things up before the first period came to an end. His goal was assisted by Cole Semeniuk.

The second period was entirely scoreless, so it was 2-2 after 40 minutes of play.

The third period was a lot of back and forth hockey. The Raiders jumped out to a 3-2 lead. Aida Hughes (Semeniuk and Luca Buzziol) then scored a powerplay goal. Buzziol (Aida Hughes and Thomas Gordon) added his own goal to give the Menace a 4-3 lead. The Raiders then scored with an extra attacker to tie it up. Hughes (assisted by Rea) then scored his goal just seven seconds later. It was 5-4 with just 30 seconds left. The Raiders then tied it up at 5 to send it to overtime.
