The Wolves were outshot by the Colts 17 - 8 but would take a 1 - 0 lead into the first intermission.
The Wolves took complete control of the contest in the second period as they scored four straight goals to take a 5 - 0 lead. The first goal came right off the faceoff at the 0:54 minute mark on a shorthanded effort by Matt Dias with an assist from Gerome Giudice.
The Wolves then added goals from Kain Allicock, assisted by
John McFarland and Dean Howard, Akim Aliu, assisted by Frankie
Santini, and a second goal by Dias, assisted by Giudice and
John Kurtz. The Colts were able to hit the back of the net near
the end of the frame to cut the Wolves lead to 5-1.
 
Early in the third period, the Wolves picked up right were they
left off with a goal by Marcus Foligno, assisted by Kyle Tarini
and Maggio, and an unassisted marker from Kurtz.
