Kohen Olischefski struck early in the opening period for Devils with a power-play effort, the only score before the first break. Steelers hit back soon after the restart through Kevin Tansey, but as the second period clock ran down, Nolan Yaremko scored twice in as many minutes as Devils seized the initiative.
Ryan Tait replied for Steelers only for Josh MacDonald to restore Devils' two-goal lead and having scored their opener, Olischefski added the fifth to seal victory.
