The quick opposition goal didn't knock the Beast off stride. Just over two minutes later, Jamie Doornbosch took a drop pass from Daniel Ciampini and fired home a quick one-timer from the right wing faceoff circle and beat Monarchs starter Matt O'Connor to tie the game at 2:34.

Manchester got one back in the final seconds of the first frame with Francois Beauchemin recording the 3-2 goal with just 14 seconds left, putting an end to a wild first period that saw the Beast outshoot the Monarchs 20-5.
Brampton continued to apply pressure into the second period and were paid off for their tenacity. Marino pounced on a juicy rebound let out by O'Connor and made no mistake in netting his second of the night just 3:01 into the period.
Exactly eight minutes later, Reggie Traccitto scooped up a puck just inside the blue line, surveyed his options and sent a hard shot on goal that got through a crowd and beat the goaltender for a 5-2 Beast lead at 11:01.
The Beast held the 5-2 lead until the Monarchs started the late comeback with Beauchemin's second of the game at 8:59, making it a 5-3 game.
Manchester continued to press and made it 5-4 at 12:14 thanks to Watson's second of the game.
