The teams played out a scoreless first period with neither team making an impact at even strength nor with their special teams.

Back out in the middle and the scoring started at 23.53 when Aaron Connolly scored a powerplay goal for the home team but exactly 3 minutes later Luke Ferrara levelled the game at even strength. Neither team could manage any more scoring in the middle frame and for the second time the teams took the interval tied up.

Slough’s Mindy Kieras gave them back the lead with a powerplay goal at 50.13 only to see Ondrej Lauko levelled at 2-2 at 53.01. Frankie Bakrlik scored the game winning goal wit 3.25 left to play and with 1.29 left Slava Koulikov made use of the home team’s time-out. Soon afer the restart Peterborough opted for the extra attacker but Lauko nullified that advantage with a penalty at 59.19. Slough converted the powerplay when King had headed back to the bench again with Bakrlik netting for a second time, this one into the empty net for a 4-2 scoreline. Slough spent the last 8 seconds killing a powerplay, the last 5 seconds of the game killing a 5 on 3 but had already done enough to win.

The home team shot away with a 2-0 early lead, started with Doug Sheppard netting the opener at 4.08 and followed by the same player assisting Slava Koulikov with Slough’s second goal. The visitors then got to show case their skills when Martin Masa pulled one back at 12.25 and Lucas Smital levelled the game with 5.38 remaining in the opener.

The second period saw neither team give an inch as they played out the period locked at 2-2 but with 2.15 remaining Adam Greener collected a roughing minor and Guildford converted another powerplay with Ben Campbell scoring at 39.06 to head to the interval a goal ahead.

Tensions continued back out for the third as both teams battled hard, Guildford to hold their advantage and Slough to nullify it but when Jez Lundin netted Guildford’s third powerplay goal of the night at 50.45, giving them a two goal margin it meant a change of tactics for the home team. Forced to open up to chase two goals to level it was their opponents who netted two more goals through Lucas Smital at 56.04 and Rick Plant at 56.43 to complete the win.
