In a back-and-forth rally with Barrie, it was Gage Butcher and Jared Woolley scoring the next two. Assists came from Woolley, Justin Murdoch (2) and Beau Reade.

In repeat style from the previous day's game, both teams were held off the board in the third period and it was another tie in the books for the McInroy Maines QRD team with a 1-1 final.
