The Flyers were able to find the back of the net later in the opening period, trimming Sarnia's lead to 2-1. A powerplay goal even things at two in the second period.

The game remained tied until the final few minutes when Zak Parlette scored for Leamington with 1:46 left on the third period clock. The Flyers added an empty netter in the game's final seconds to secure the victory.

Sarnia surrendered a powerplay goal on six opportunities, and were unable to find the back of the net on their three man advantages.
