Knoxville started off fast with two goals writing the first five minutes of the first period. Tim Vitek scored the first goal of the night with Van Vliet following up just three minutes later. Huntsville scored two in the first to end the period tied at two.

 

The second period saw lots of action and lots of penalties. Knoxville was able to take the lead with three goals, ending the period 5-3.

 

Knoxville maintained their lead through the third period to win 6-4 against the Huntsville Havoc. Knoxville will face Huntsville again tomorrow night at 7:30 at the Knoxville Civic Coliseum.
