1st Period
Very interesting start of the period, as Deniss Dimants got an early penalty for cross-checking Alexander Charlyb'y. Lots of chances for St. Louis this powerplay, but no early goal for them and game continued 5v5 in tie. Lots of shots in the period, teams racing for the puck around the whole ice. The game was a scoreless tie for almost 15 minutes, when Eric Verstappen scored after two Strawberry Blake's missed shots in a huge offensive play for Vancouver. No more goals here in first period, but lots of shots on goal and off the net. 13 shots on goal for Whalers against 9 for Scarecrows.

2nd Period
More aggressive play from St Louis in the second period, as they are trailing by one but slightly less shots on goal for both teams. Scarecrows managed to get the tie goal in powerplay as Yakov Pinehero got 2 minutes for hooking and Marc-Andre Malkin capitalised in powerplays last seconds after excellent passes from Dos Diablo and Eugene Feist. But St. Louis didn't plan to stop. 3 minutes later Sebastian Strange brings Scarecrows in the lead, 2-1. Vancouver couldn't manage to do pretty much anything in the rest of the period and the period ends with Crows leading by one, shots on goal 7 for St. Louis against 5 for Vancouver.

Third Period
This time Whalers are on the run to tie the game and started strong in the third period. But Scarecrows didn't want to let them get space for breathing. After a huge offensive, Gavin Trent secured the puck in Vancouvers net, but Alexander Charlyb'y won the faceoff, a quick play from Crows and Harry Hans Brings Scarecrows in a 2 goal lead, 3-1. With some soft cushion, St. Louis let the Whalers play a bit with the puck, meanwhile getting the defenses on point. But Vancouvers offense was impotent, even with 13 shots on goal this period. Scarecrows put a nail in Whalers coffin 2 minutes before end of the game, precise shot by Mister Rogers, 4-1 Crows lead and no chances for comeback to Whalers. Shots on goal this period 13 for Whalers and 8 for Scarecrows.

1st Period
Halifax Raiders started the game really strong and came up with an really early goal. New Latvian rising star Patriks Porziņģis scored goal only 37 seconds in the game after the rebound of Reinis Aumeisters shot on goal, which Mikke Laukkanen couldn't secure. After that Halifax had tons of penalties, with total 10 PIM's in first period alone, but despite that Kelowna looked absolutely poor in offense and managed to shoot on goal only 7 times, only one more than Raiders 6.

2nd Period
Second period was way better for Knights in shooting on goal, a total of 16 times. But still no puck in Curtis Allison's net. On the other end, Halifax had only 3 shots on goal, a total dominance by Kelowna this period. But Halifax managed to score another early period goal, despite the push by Knights. Ace McCardle sent the puck in the net after his own rebound of first shot. After that Halifax got another two penalties, and as mentioned, Kelowna still couldn't capitalise. Lots of chances, but no goals.

Third Period
Third period started with Taystee Poussey with another two minute penalty for Halifax. Although Kelowna didn't use their chance in yet another powerplay, they did score a bit later. Latvian duo this time, Oskar Ollson with the precise shot and Janis Mazmiesis with assist. A minute later luck shined to Kelowna once again, Mia Landvik shot tied the game, 2-2. Knights tried to push further, but Halifax woke up after a cold shower with 2 goals in one minute and 2 minutes later regained the lead, as Rick Chleb scored, 3-2. Halifax then took over and 3 minutes later again was up by 2, William Hendrickson with goal this time. Kelowna then tried to fight the deficit again, but no luck this time. End of the game score 4-2, shots on goal 10 for Knights against 13 for Raiders.
