The night started off with some magic as the 15 Wing Snowbirds were the Warriors special guests creating a magical atmosphere before the game even got started. And the night ended with a little OT magic which was conducted by Justin Kirsch. The Warriors used some stick wizardry to get the game to the extra frame. Cody Beach directed a Dallas Ehrhardt shot to tie the game with just less than six minutes remaining in the third period.
The Warriors started the game by opening the scoring just two minutes and forty seconds into the second period. The Pats would score two in the second period and a hold a one goal lead after 40 minutes.  |

Beach would deflect a point shot from Dallas Ehrhardt for his 14th on the year and send the game to the extra frame. And halfway thru the overtime period Justin Kirsch would score his 20th on the season and send his team to victory.
The win see the teams finish with identical records of 4-2-2 in this season series. Of the eight games, four were decided in an extra period. The victory sees the Warriors three game losing streak come to an end.  |
