Gostje so uvodno tretjino dobili z 2:1. V drugih 20 minutah je obramba Los Angelesa delovala izjemno, saj Columbusu ni dopustila niti enega samega strela v okvir vrat, kar se Blue Jacketsom še nikoli ni pripetilo!

Odločilni trenutek je prišel v 51. minuti, ko je po podaji nekdanjega Kralja Jacka Johnsona za 3:1 zadel Gregory Campbell. V zadnji minuti je po podaji Kopitarja poraz le ublažil Jeff Carter.
