It was former Canucks prospect Kole Lind who opened the scoring for this series, beating Abbotsford goaltender Artūrs Šilovs less than 10 minutes into the first period. Texas’ lead didn’t last long, however, as Guillaume Brisebois tied the game late in the first before Ty Mueller gave Abbotsford the 2–1 lead in the second period. Antonio Stranges scored for Texas to keep the game even at two goals apiece.
