Colorado was playing without Andrew Kew, who had been the league's leading goal scorer.
Colorado dominated the first half, scoring the game's first seven goals before taking an 8-1 lead into halftime. The offensive surge was powered by three power-play goals to start the second quarter.

They pulled within a single goal, 12-11, after a short-handed strike from Ryan Keenan with 3:27 remaining in the fourth. However, Hannah sealed the game for the Mammoth with his fourth goal of the night just under a minute later.
Keenan tallied a team-high five assists to go with his sole goal. Brock Haley scored a team-high three goals, all in the second half.
