After exchanging a pair of two-goal runs, Corpora, who put the Hawks on the board 29 seconds into the contest, completed the first-quarter hat trick and made it a 4-2 Hartford lead after the first quarter. The second quarter was all Hartford, with Carter O'Connell and Justin Tkachuk extending the run to four at the 5:31 and 3:45 mark, until Sean MacKinny found the back of the net with 17.3 seconds left to Manhattan's drought and close the gap to 6-3 at halftime.  
 
Manhattan kept the momentum going after the break, tacking on three more unanswered scores to knot up the game at 6-6 with 5:15 left in the third. But the Hawks responded in a big way, netting five of the next six goals of the game to retake their four-goal advantage at 11-7 with 14:01 left in the game. The Jaspers would threaten with a late score inside the final three minutes, but Hartford killed the clock to secure the victory.
