The Foresters tied the score at 16:01 in the second stanza on senior forward Ryan Panet’s (Markham, ON/Wexford Raiders) sixth goal of the season. Sophomore forward Tyler Canal (Thunder Bay, ON/Stratford Cullitons) and senior forward Robin Charest (Cabano, QC/Hebron Academy) were each credited with an assist. Canal led the team with 16 goals, 23 assists, and 39 points. Charest was second on the squad in all three categories with 33 points on 14 goals and 19 assists.
The home team took advantage of their second power play opportunity of the game at the 6:12 mark of the third period.
