The shot chart went significantly towards Wayzata in the second period as they built a 14-6 margin of shots in the period. The result? A four goal period for Wayzata, while the Jacks strung together three goals of their own and trailed 6-4 entering the final stanza.

In the third period, the Lumberjacks responded by out shooting Wayzata 6-4 and cutting the lead to 6-5, but that was all they could muster in the game.
