It didn’t take long for Motor City to start things off as Rocco DiCostanzo took a shot from outside inside the blue line just 1:14 into the first period for a 1-0 lead. The Rockers continued to pour on the pressure and despite being shorthanded late in the period Mike Winn was able to steal a puck and give Motor City a 2-0 lead at 14:41.

The Rockers continued to pressure into the second frame as Declan Conway buried a third goal at 14:01. Elmira finally was able to burst through as Austin Pickford buried his first goal 1:37 seconds later amid a scrum right in front of the net. However, the momentum only lasted 2:10 before Scott Coash gave Motor City their 3 goal lead back.

Spencer Kozlowski stopped 28 of 32 shots in the loss.
