Late in the frame, the Storm would retake the lead with a powerplay goal.
In the third period, the Storm would extend the lead to 4-2 just over six minutes in. The Spitfires had a few opportunities on the powerplay late in the frame but could not solve Gillespie. The Storm would add two more and take the win by a score of 6-2.
