Marly Quince's goal inside the final minute gave Coventry Blaze a 4-3 road win in Manchester over the Storm who'd led twice on the night.

Period one ended scoreless in front of 1,801 fans at the Storm Shelter, but two goals in seven seconds had the game all square at one each. Anthony DeLuca put Storm ahead at 29:30 but from the resulting faceoff Kim Tallberg beat Jeremy Brodeur to tie it up.

Tyler Barrow beat Paavo Hölsä with a patient breakaway move to send Manchester into the second intermission ahead.

Mitch Cook did it all himself from the read line to beating Brodeur in close to tie the game 2:35 into period three, before Colton Yellow Horn put the visitors ahead just over two minutes later. DeLuca tied the game with a trademark powerplay goal, but Quince quick first shot won it for Coventry with 55 seconds remaining in regulation.
