The Pensacola Ice Flyers ended the regular season with a 4-2 win against the Fayetteville FireAntz on Saturday in Fayetteville, N.C. Just like the night before, it wasn't until late in the second that the Ice Flyers were able to get on the board. Jon Puskar scored off a pass from Brett Beebe at the 13:10 mark. Just 58 seconds later a shot from Grant Gettinger was redirected in by Nick Lazorko to make it a two-goal game. With less than two minutes to go in the second, an interference penalty on Zack Josepher gave the FireAntz a chance to get in the game. A shot from Mike Baird deflected off the body of Randy Cameron in front of the net and behind Max Strang to pull Fayetteville within one at the end of the period. Just 2:37 into the third, Pensacola's Jack Callahan scored his first professional goal as he threw the puck in the net from a tough angle that deflected off of Andrew Flemming and in, to retake the two-goal lead. With less than 5 minutes remaining, Corey Tamblyn ripped a shot from the top of the circle that beat Max Strang high, stick-side to move Fayetteville back within one goal. However at the 17:08 mark, from deep in the corner, Brett Beebe found a wide open Puskar between the circles who scored his second goal of the game, and the Ice Flyers went on t0 win with a final score of 4-2.
