The Hawks came out flying and blitzed the Wings for six goals in the first quarter and led the Wings 6-2 after one quarter and it only got worse from there. As the Hawks found the back of the net four more times and held the Wings scoreless.

The Hawks took a 10-2 lead into the locker room at halftime.

Connor Fields torched the Wings defense for seven goals and one assist and Ryan Hartley made 30 saves for the Hawks.
