Jacksonville would get on the board with an Abbot Girduckis goal, before the Swamp Rabbits regained the two-goal advantage with Nikita Pavlychev’s sixth of the campaign. A late power play goal from Jake Elmer brought the Icemen to within a goal at the end of the period. After a scoreless second period, the Icemen tied the game just 70 seconds into the frame with a goal from Derek Lodermeier.
