Minutes later, it was a 2-1 game. With only one period left and two teams driven to be victorious, the stakes remained high. Barrie then tied the game at 2, followed by Quinte raising the score 3-2 (Cunningham, from Koutroulides). Barrie responding once more, tying up the Devils, 3-3 and forcing both teams to battle until the end for that winning goal.
