The game began in expectant mood for TPS. Despite a slow tempo to the game, the home team started the more brighter. Ilkka Pikkarainen's shot hit Janne Juvonen pads, but Teemu Väyrynen, was unable to put home the rebound. That was the best chance of the period so the game remained scoreless.
Juhani Tyrväinen set up Marko Pöyhönen who supplied a fantastic pass for Roope Elimäki to fire past the goalie.
The tempo of the game increased in the second period. Pelicans continued to make the right plays and were patiently trying to catch their opponents with counter attacks.
At 29:19 TPS quickly switched play from defense to attack. Teemu Väyrynen gathered a pass from Jani Forsstrom and set up Otto Nieminen, who struck the puck into the net to make the score 1-1.
Chances were once again at a premium in the third period. Each team had some half chances but neither could add to the score so we headed into overtime.
Henrik Tallinder had the best chance at the start of extra time, before Antti Erkinjuntti also went close for the Pelicans.
There was only 13 seconds remaining when Tyrväinen passed to Justin Hodgman. Hodgman was stationary, but he sparked into life and feinted TPS goalie Alexandar Georgiev, sending him the wrong way and gave the pelicans for a 2-1 overtime victory. Juvonen was the Pelicans man of the match, stopping 32 shots.
