The Hitmen responed with a quick goal to tie the game up at 2 apiece, and took the lead past the halfway mark in the period. The Hawks tied things up on a beauty setup by Melanson feed to MacPhee in the slot who capitalized on a one-timer shot in the top of the net.

Doiron was solid in nets for the Hawks.
