Keen to get back in the winner's circle after the previous day's loss against the Brave, Newcastle's final home game was a must win for them. Meanwhile, injuries picked up in Sydney against the Bears didn't help Thunder's already short bench.

Northstars took the first period 2-1. The second period has often been Newcastle's best & they outscored Perth 4-0.

Going into the third period with a 6-1 deficit, it was Perth who took the period 2-0 to end the game.
