The Pelicans handled Rovaniemen Kiekko 6-2 in regulation, and the game was effectively settled before the third period began. A two-goal opening frame and a shutout through 40 minutes gave the hosts control they never surrendered.
Pelicans went up 2-0 after the first and stretched it to 3-0 through two, with RoKi unable to solve them for the opening two periods. The visitors finally broke through in the third, but the hosts answered with three of their own in the same frame to close it out at 6-2.
The defining number is the split by period: 2-0, 1-0, 3-0 became 6-2 only because RoKi's two goals arrived after the outcome was decided. Six goals against two, with the margin built on a scoreless 40 minutes for the visitors.
