Canmore scores their second goal of the game at 12:30 when Jordan Bauer takes a pass from teammate Kory Roy and rifles a shot past Sean Cahill from the slot area.

The period ends with the Oilers hanging onto a 3 to 2. Canmore ends up outshooting the Oilers 11 to 10 in the period.

 Canmore continue to press for the tying goal in the third period, but it is the Okotoks Oilers that gets the only goal off the stick of Cody Dion, his second goal of the game at 14:50 on a nice setup from Chris Duszynski and  Brandon Hoogenboom and the Oilers win the game by a 4 to 2 margin.
