Five minutes into the final frame, Jendek scored his second of the game (Ryan Smith, Larmand) and his 13th of the season to give the Pack a 4-1 lead. Less than a minute later, Niagara would answer back with a goal by Liam Van Loon (Betts, Brenden Sirizzotti) to make it a 4-2 game.

Two minutes later, Assadourian (Boudreau, Collins) would net his second of the game to give Sudbury a three-goal lead again, 5-2. 

Less than two minutes after that, Sudbury would score again. Goyette and Assadourian teamed up to feed a pass to Nick DeGrazia who scored his 22nd of the year and gave Sudbury a 6-2 lead.
