In a close matchup, the Wolverines narrowly fell to the Ice Dogs in a 5–3 final.
Fairbanks jumped out to an early 2–0 lead before Andrew Karkoc got Anchorage on the board. The Ice Dogs quickly responded to close out the first period with a 3–1 advantage.
Bowen Burke netted his first goal as a Wolverine early in the second, followed by Caleb Mahar’s first of the season to tie things up.
Fairbanks regained control with two more goals in the third, including an empty-netter from their own defensive zone to seal the win.
The two teams meet again tomorrow to close out the rivalry series, with puck drop set for 7:30 p.m. at the Sullivan Arena.
