Just like the previous two Prospects Games, the event is actually two "prospect" games with the President's Cup going to the winning goal aggregate. Summary Game One West Prospects' Adam Tambellini scored a rebound goal in overtime on East's Brock Crossthwaite to give the West the come-from-behind victory. Despite being outshot 44-30 by the East, the West goes into Game Two with a one-goal lead in the goal-aggregate two-game series. Game Two Again, the West Prospects come back from a deficit (3–2 midway through the game) with a tying goal from Sean McGovern late in the second, Justin Lund scored the winning goal only 28 seconds into the third, and Chase McMurphy scored the insurance marker only 61 seconds later to clinch game two of the Prospects Games. The 5–3 victory gave the West a 9–6 aggregate victory over the East for the series and their fourth Presidents Cup in 7 years.
