Day two of the tournament opened with an early morning match up against the Oakville Rangers, the team struggled at times through adversities and unfortunately came up a bit short and lost 2-3 to the Rangers. In their final set of the round robin play, the Devils faced the Carleton Place Canadians and kept them off the scoreboard through all three periods taking a 4-0 win.
