The Gladiators opened the scoring with 8:07 left in the first period. Pat Bateman tallied his first goal with Gwinnett, taking a pass from Jordan Fox on the left boards and putting it past Checkers goalie Maxime Daigneault.
Fox added his name to the score sheet again with a goal just under 3 minutes later at 14:45 of the first. The forward picked up a rebound off a Bateman shot on the left faceoff circle and carried the puck behind the net before putting it over Daigneault on his glove side.
Jeff Miles put Charlotte on the board with 1:08 left in the period on the power play. Mike Bayrack drove the puck down the right side, and threw a pass across the middle to Miles who put it in on the left doorstep.
The Checkers equalized the game at 7:23 of the second period. Pat Bateman had just left the box after a delay of game penalty, and Julien Brouillette fired a shot from the top of the left faceoff circle. Gwinnett goaltender Kevin Nastiuk kicked the rebound to his left, directly to a waiting David Rutherford who put it in the open net.
With 6:43 left in the second period, Andreas Jamtin scored the Checkers third goal of the game on the power play with Chris Cava in the box for cross checking. Trailing 3-2, the Gladiators found themselves behind in a game for the first time all season. Mike Taylor and David Rutherford tallied assists on the goal.
The action heated up late in the second. Tysen Dowzak of Charlotte and Gwinnettâ
