Saginaw tied the game as Hunter Haight grabbed a loose puck behind the Greyhounds net after Theo Hill won a battle. Haight came out from behind the net and tucked the puck past Greyhounds goalie Samuel Ivanov at 11:51 With 5.8 seconds to go in the period, the Spirit cut the Sault lead to 4-2 when Dean Loukus redirected a pass from Michael Misa past Ivanov.
