Adam Wilsby tied the game 1-1 with a one-timer from distance on a 4-on-4 play. The two teams would enter the first intermission tied 1-1 after a penalty-filled first period.
In the second period, Texas regained the lead when Alex Petrovic beat Askarov with a quick wrist shot from the left-wing circle, making it 2-1.
