Defense took center stage in the first period as both teams remained scoreless. Huntsville broke the deadlock in the second, capitalizing on a power play to take a 1-0 lead. The Bulls kept pushing and finally broke through in the third when Jared Christy found the back of the net, tying the game and forcing overtime.
Despite their resilience, Birmingham was unable to complete the comeback, as Huntsville netted the game-winner in the extra frame. The Bulls’ defense and goaltending held strong against 41 shots on the night, keeping the team in the fight until the very end.
