FTC-Telekom answered just over four minutes later through Rasmus Bengtsson. Austin Osmanski restored the two-goal cushion early in the third, and Ferenc Laskawy pulled Budapest within one on the power play with just over three and a half minutes left. Pustertal then killed off a late penalty and held off the Budapest push with the goalie pulled. Colin Furlong made 34 saves on 36 shots.
