The Blades found themselves down 4-1 after two periods but rallied on goals by Jackson Bales, Ryan Foss and Drew W orrad to force OT. Foss's goal came on the power play. North York's Nick Zanette finally decided the contest when he beat Oakville goalie Brendan McGlynn after 8 6 :4 5 minutes of play. The Blades' other goal Wednes day was scored by Tyler Hildebrandt in the second period. In Game 3 of the series a night earlier in Oakville, the Blades' Chris Brill-Morgan broke a 1-1 tie in the second and added an in surance marker in the third in his team's 3-1 victory.
