Clarkson had a heavy-hitting first period, scoring four goals, all on the power-play, to open the game. 6:33 into the game, Anthony Romano scored off of a pass from Ayrton Martino. Only three and a half minutes later, Clarkson struck again. This time was Alex Campbell, taking passes from Lukas Kaelble and Martino.

The Golden Knights added one more in the second with Luke Santerno scoring 13:47 into the period. Alaska managed to get on the board in the third period, showing some fight 10:46 into the third as Antti Virtanen found Brady Risk who then picked up the assists on a Jakob Breault shot in front of the net. This was Breault's first career-point and goal.
