Things looked good for the Slayers early however, as the ex-Sabre combination of Damien Ho and Dan Culligan teamed up for a first minute goal. The game then endured its longest goalless stretch, broken by Tyrrell at the 6:30 mark of the first. The Fire dominated the rest of the period, led by the potent duo of Tyrrell and Trevor Murphy, who accounted for four of the first five Fire goals. By the end of the first period, the Fire had amassed a whopping 7-1 lead.

The second period was almost a mirror image of the first. Ho again setup a Dan Culligan goal less than a minute into the stanza, before the Fire took over five minutes later. The Fire scored seven unanswered goals to end the period, marked by a natural hattrick by Tyrrell in a span of 1:40.

Chad Griffin was named the game's first star for scoring five goals and four assists, and assumed the position of league scoring leader in the process. Tyrrell was the game's second star, while linemate Murphy was the game's third star. Fire goalie Harvey Snelgrove was solid in goal when he was tested, and becomes the league's top rated goalie as a result of his .895 save percentage performance.
Dan Culligan led Slayer scorers with three goals, as his team dropped to 0-2. The Fire move into first place overall, having played one more game than its rivals.
