Darren Plotkin led Eastern with three goals; Andrew Fleming had a hand on all six goals with five assists and one goal, John Czarnick scored twice for RV. Eastern led 2-1 after the first period on goals by Plotkin and Sam Seigledorf sandwiched around one by Czarnick. The Vikings took a 4-1 lead scoring two goals about ninety seconds apart early in the second period. First, Nicky Bascou scored the first of his two goals on the evening, to make it 3-1 then Plotkin put home his second of the night and the lead was 4-1.
Back came RV as Fleming assisted on one goal and scored one in a span of twenty to cut the lead to 4-3. Czarnick tied the game late in the period, again with Fleming getting an assist. RV took its first lead of the game midway through the third period as Matthew Menichini scored his third goal of the season and RV led 5-4. Eastern would tie the game less than two minutes later as Bascou scored his second of the night. Plotkin put the Vikings ahead with just over two minutes remaining, but Heinz would get the equalizer in the final minute and both teams got a well deserved point.
