Unfortunately, the visitors were not able to hold on. Winnipeg scored a shorthanded goal right before intermission and added two more goals in period two. A gritty Seattle team battled back for the tie off a net-front score by Jordan Eberle, but Winnipeg got the majority of shots and chances in the final 20 minutes and ultimately buried two more goals for a 5-3 win.
