A Utah power-play goal at 14:01 of the opening period cut the Falcons’ lead to one. Andy Sertich took a shot from the left point which was deflected by Keith Johnson at the hash marks for his ninth goal of the year.

The Grizzlies tied the game 4:13 into the second period. Olivier Labelle skated into the Fresno zone, and beat Kris Mayotte from the left-wing circle for his third goal of the season.

Eizenman put the Falcons ahead for good with a power-play tally 6:56 into the final period. Jarrett Konkle moved the puck to Eizenman on the near post, and he was able to deflect the puck out of midair past Mole for his sixth of the year.

The rookie then set the final at 16:31, beating Mole to the near post for a wraparound goal to make it 4-2.
