Sean Greenhalgh scored four goals, three in the fourth quarter, leading the Wings to a 13-11 victory over the Mammoth.

Dan Finck scored the game's first goal, but Philadelphia (1-0) soon fell behind 4-2 after one quarter and 7-2 midway through the second. Colorado (0-1) netminder Gord Nash even got in on the party, scoring on an empty net when Philadelphia momentarily pulled goaltender Matt Roik but failed to convert the five-on-four play.

Philadelphia rallied to within two goals by halftime, at 7-5, and narrowed the gap to 10-9 by the end of the third period.

Greenhalgh, who already had scored late in the third quarter, dominated offensively in the fourth, scoring at 6:15 to tie the game and twice later (after a Keith Cromwell goal) to extend the Wings' lead to 13-10 with less than two minutes to play.

Greenhalgh led all scorers with seven points (four goals, three assists). Gavin Prout paced Colorado with three goals and two assists.
