The Griffins responded with a pair of markers in the second to tie the game at two.
On the power play 8:23 in the third, Sean MacTavish scored for Grant MacEwan and Ryan Baskerville notched an empty net goal to clinch the win late in the frame.

Salmon, the fifth-year Kings netminder was named player of the game.
