The home team made it through the first period without taking a penalty while the visiting team took two penalties but successfully killed them.
 
Nearly five minuets into the second period Manitoba took two penalties back to back, but were able to kill off Calgary's five on three power play. The home team opened the scoring when rookie defenseman Channing Bresciani beat Lazaruk on a three on two rush. Calgary took two penalties at the same time at the halfway point of the period resulting on a five on three power play for the Bisons.

The power play had a big role in this game. Manitoba was 2/7 on the power play while Calgary was 0/3.
 
"The five on three kill in the second period was huge for us," said Bisons head coach Mike Sirant, "and then our power play took the cue from that and we took advantage of our opportunities and scored some really nice power play goals."
 
This game was the first of a two game series. The teams will play again tomorrow night at Wayne Fleming Arena at 6 pm CST.
