The Rangers took the first shot of the game, an off target shot by Elias Taubo, :40 seconds in, then Julian Fally and Ignacio Bellina both landed shots on goal in the 14th minute. Vasili Papadopoulos landed one on as well before the Thunderwolves had their first on goal shot, which was saved by Greg Squire at 33:12.
