After trailing 2-0 in the first period, Brent Gwindt and D.J. Jelitto scored goals to tie the game for the Grizz in the second period. The Solar Bears retook the lead in the third before O'Keefe scored his first professional goal.

However, Orlando won the game with a goal off a face-off with 1:03 left in overtime.

Utah still came away with a point and went 1-1-1-0 in the three-game series with the Solar Bears.
