Less than 3 minutes later, Nelson found the back of the net again, this time assisted by Shane Zierden. With minutes remaining in the first period Nelson completed his hat trick by sinking another goal assisted by Michael Schmidt and Geopferd. At the last second an otter player was sent to the penalty box. The final score of the first period was Otters 3, Cardinals 0.

Being short-handed with a player in the box, the Otters knew they needed to start the second period strong to keep the Cardinals from scoring. Just a minute into the period Luke Norgard sent a beautiful pass to Griffin Babolian who scored a short-handed goal. The Cardinals were called for too many men on the ice and the Otters go on the Power Play. The Cardinals showing great defense and excellent goaltending were able to hold the Otters off. The Otters were able to get two more goals scored by Geopferd, who was assisted by Nelson. The last goal of the second period was scored by Zierden and assisted by Geopferd and Riley McGovern. The Otters ended the period with a 6-0 lead against the Cardinals.

The Otters came back to the third period unwilling to give up. They continued to show great teamwork. The Otters were able to get 3 more goals, scoring was Nelson from Zierden and Geopferd, Babolian from Norgard, and Schmidt from Dirkman. With just 2 minutes remaining in the game the Cardinals were not willing to give up. One of the cardinal players skated down the ice with the Otter team chasing him, he was determined to get a goal for the team. He shoots and the shot is blocked by the Otter goalie Timothy Nanson. With Nanson recovering from an excellent save the puck sat in front of the Otter net. McGovern swoops into get the puck out of the zone.
