Chicago forward Felix Unger-Sorum put the Wolves on the board with an unorthodox floating shot that found the Marlies net much to the surprise of goalie Artur Akhtyamov to put the Hurricanes AHL affiliates up 1-0 at the 8:09 mark. Things got worse for the Toronto as a giveaway in the Marlies zone led to captain Josiah Slavin also finding the netting at the 17:49 mark to give Chicago the 2-0 lead. With Wolves defenceman Ronan Seeley rendered stick-less, the Marlies found themselves on a semi-power play and Toronto defenceman Matt Benning put in a shot that caught some of the stick of forward Landon Sim into the net 28 seconds before the end of the first frame to cut Chicago's lead in half at 2-1.
