It took until the third period for Boston to wake up and begin closing the gap on Columbus's lead at the time.

Arvidsson scored in the seventh minute, added another a few minutes later, and scored again in the last minute of the period.

After extra time, the score was still 3–3, and the match had to be decided in a penalty shootout. When it was Arvidsson's turn, he stepped up and decided the match.

The 32-year-old was subsequently named the game's star.
