Two officials took charge of the game and two early goals gave the visitors a lead when Curtis Huppe scored at 7.26 and Stuart Potts scored at 10.58. It was with Branislav Kvetan serving an interference penalty that Dan Davies netted a 5 on 3 powerplay goal making it 1-2 and the first interval was taken 3.03 later with the score still 1-2.

Slough won the second period thanks to the equalising goal from Tomas Valecko at 26.56 followed by the go ahead goal from Frantisek Bakrlik at 31.20 scored on a powerplay. Slough’s lead lasted 2.12 until Ben Campbell levelled the game at 3-3 and with neither team scoring again the second interval came around at 3-3.

Not long into the third period Guildford found the back of the net but only after the net had been dislodged from it’s moorings resulting in a no goal. Both teams traded penalties and powerplays but neither could break the deadlock until David Longstaff scored with 3.17 left to make it 3-4. A time out followed with 1.37 remaining and Slough opted for the empty net but Longstaff netted his second at 58.33. Even a powerplay at the end of the game for Slough couldn’t help them equalise and Guildford took the full points.
