Zack Torquato, with his 20th of the season, netted the lone Otters goal as Erie saw their modest two-game winning streak come to an end. The Otters are now 12-33-1-2 on the season. Brampton ended a four-game winless streak (0-3-0-1) with the win and are now 19-25-1-4 on the season. Brampton led 1-0 after one and 2-0 heading into the third. Torquato scored five minutes into the third to close the gap to one before Klejna hit the open net with one second remaining. Brampton out shot the Otters 30-22 in the game as Kevin Beech took the loss. The three stars of the game were 1. Hughes, 2. Smyth and 3. Torquato.
