Unfortunately Seaforth answered back with two more to tie it up and another less than a minute into the third to go ahead 4-3. After a number of great rushes by Sammy Skinner, Ben Davey and Brett Adair the Meteors finally answered back as Smith picked up his second of the night with assists by Mabb and Rops. From there neither team could add as it concluded in a draw.

The Meteors responded halfway through the second with a goal by Evan Chaffe assisted by Schinbein and McCarthy. Mitchell responded yet again with under two to go in the frame as McCarthy set up Chaffe`s second on the night. Seaforth tied it up a minute later at 2 with 31 seconds to go in the second setting up an action packed third frame.

Dan Skinner played excellent in goal holding off Seaforth combined with great plays by defence pair Josh Taylor and Trevor Skinner. Seaforth finally put one in to tie it up with under four minutes to go in the third. With under two to go Evan Chaffe fooled the Seaforth defenceman and went in all alone on a breakaway where he was tripped up leading to a penalty shot. Chaffe came in slow gradually picking up speed but couldn`t put the quick deke past the goaltender. After a few scrambled rushes by both teams in the last minute, no results came about and the teams tied again this time at 3.
