The Second period was much like the first with both teams pressuring trying to score on the other team"s mistakes, the game was starting to open up as Ramuntos was looking to take a 2-0 and the Whalers were looking to tie the game 1-1. Each goalie was playing well when tested and not allowing a goal but with just :24 seconds left in the period the Whalers were able to get on the board. Scotty Shaw got the goal as James Kerrigan dug the puck out of the corner and passed it back to Kirt Johnson, he then fired a shot to the net, Scotty Shaw got the rebound and put past Tazzi to tie the game 1-1. Lallier finished the period with 11 saves and Tazzi registered 8.
