Thomas Byrne then made it three on the rush and he made no mistake firing it past Marr. The Wildcats did pull one back on the powerplay through Aaron Nell.


The Third period was domination from the Wildcats. Glenn Billing received a great pass from Malasinski and fired it past Day to reduce the deficit to one. Edgars Bebris then jumped in on the play and squeezed the puck past Brad Day. Then with just 35 seconds to go the Wildcats piled on the pressure and it was Aaron Nell who found space in front of the net and tapped it past Day to complete the comeback.
