British Columbia Grizzlies (3–1–0) rally twice and beat Chicago Steelstorm (0–4–0) 3–2, with Ryan Nadeau scoring all three Grizzlies goals. Two come on the power play; his third, at minute 16 of the final period, wins it.

Elias Pettersson puts Chicago ahead at minute 4 of the first period. British Columbia waits until minute 18 of the second for Nadeau’s first power-play equaliser, assisted by Nico Thiessen. The teams enter the third at 1–1.

Jared Eisenbarth restores Chicago’s lead in the opening minute of the third, from Jeff Halko. Nadeau responds on another power play at minute 3, then strikes the winner at minute 16. Patrik Hecht assists both third-period goals.

British Columbia moves to three wins in four games; Chicago remains winless after four. All five goals carry one scoring point each. The Grizzlies also won the pregame target contest, but regulation decides the result.
