Seguin-Gauthier gave the Great Danes the lead as he received a flighted ball from classmate Mikael-Taylor McNamara and broke down the left sideline. After cutting towards the middle of the field, Seguin-Gauthier slotted a shot past Glaeser with 3:47 remaining in regulation.

Hartford (7-4-6, AE 2-1-5) evened the score on header by Andreas Blamo off a feed from Corey Patrick with less than three and a half minutes remaining. Junior Joe Hogan had a shot on goal with 22 seconds remaining, but Glaeser came up with the diving save to force overtime.
