In the first period, the Huskies took the lead when Cayle Anderson scored the first goal of the season, assisted by Kyle Schieven and Seth DeBoer. Goaltender Justin Paylor was great in net, as he managed to keep the Wild from getting any goals.
Then in the second period, the Wild tied up the game with a power play goal, but this did not last long, as the Huskies succeeded to score two more goals and retake the lead 3-1, just near the end of the period. One goal was scored by DeBoer, assisted by Brandon Stevens and the other was scored by Chris Giles, assisted by Nate McGuigan and Travis Marshall.
The Wild only achieved one more goal in the third period and the Huskies defeated the Wild, 3-2.
Next, the Huskies faced the Chatsworth Rebels, at home, on Oct. 26 and after a well played game, the game ended in a 1-1 tie. The Huskies lone goal was scored by Ben Dow, unassisted.
