during the two matches which also saw 6 players ejected, 5 players suspended, 4 separate fights and an all-out on ice melee between all the players. In amongst all the carnage there was nineteen goals scored in the first game and a further seven scored in the second game with two hard fought one goal victories being split between the two teams. The Ice secured a 10–9 victory in the first match after leading 7-2 before a third period rally by the Brave saw them score six unanswered goals to temporarily take the lead 8-7 before succumbing to the visitors late on. While the Brave won the second match 4–3 to inflict only the second regulation time loss of the 2016 season on the Melbourne Ice. The two teams met again in the semi-finals of the AIHL Finals weekend as 1st (Ice) versus 4th (Brave).

Lassen took a shot that was hard to judge if it crossed the line or not. Play continued for forty seconds before the officials conferred and decided the puck had crossed the line and awarded the goal.
