The Steel took the first lead of the game with Andrew Miller scoring on the power play only 2:30 into the game. Ray Pigozzi and Michael Fallon had the assists on Miller's 12th goal of the year.  Indiana was also able to capitalize on the powerplay three minutes later tying the game at one.  With 2:55 left in the period Indiana scored again which gave them a 2-1 lead going into into the first intermission.

The second period would find the Steel getting on the scoreboard first again when Jeff Kubiak netted his third of the year; Pigozzi and Charlie O'Connor earned the assists on the powerplay goal.  The Ice were able to find the back of the net again in the 2nd, giving them the 3-2 lead going into the 2nd intermission.

 

Chicago was able to continue their success on the powerplay as they struck first in the 3rd period.  This time it was Joel Benson scoring for the Steel.  Fallon and Jaccob Slavin assisted on Benson's second goal of the year.  Adding to the special teams, Andrew Miller gave the Steel a 4-3 lead scoring short handed with 1:54 left in the game.  Christian Heil had the assist on Miller's second goal of the night, his 13th of the year.  The 4-3 lead would not hold up though as the Ice were able to capitalize on the powerplay with :47 seconds to go in regulation.
