In the second period, the Midwest began to counter punch the aggressive Great Plains pinching Defense. The results were goals and also momentum. Verona's Troy Tollefson scored two goals back to back to give Midwest the lead and Wilson beat Great Plains Goalie Ben Dardis to make it 4-2 in favor of the Midwest. After two and into the third, the Midwest took over. They were the team now moving the puck, winning the races and owning the momentum. 

Up by two and on the power play, Midwest had a great chance in front of Dardis - a Great Plains player covered the puck in the crease and was called for a penalty shot. Jonah Aegeter charged in on Dardis to give Midwest a three goal lead with under seven minutes to go. Dardis was resolute to attack Aegeter with a poke check and was successful and kept the game within reach. 

A few minutes later, JJ Wiebusch made the game interesting for the Great Plains as he snuck the puck past Behrens to make it 4-3 with under four minutes to go. Great Plains would then proceed to take two penalties to go shorthanded for most of the rest of the game. Down two skaters, Jack Sweeney would get loose beyond the Midwest defense and get a breakaway - just like he had done to start the game, he was able to beat Behrens to tie it. 

The two teams agreed to play Overtime sessions that replicated the Overtime in The Show. Note: Teams will play 3 on 3 for four minutes running time - if no team has won after the first session, they will play a 2 on 2. In the first session of 3 on 3, Isaac Howard scored for the Great Plains. In the second session of 2 on 2, Midwest scored.
