Swift Current would fall victim to back-to-back Pats power play where Braxton Whitehead would re-direct the game-tying mark just 51 seconds later. Then on another Regina man-advantage would see Reese Hamilton solve Broncos goaltender Reid Dyck (Winkler, MB) at 17:54. Regina would outshoot Swift Current in a heavy 19-14 first period.
Both clubs would run into solid goaltending from Kelton Pyne of the Pats and Reid Dyck but neither would be solved in the second period heading to a tight 2-1 deficit for the Broncos in the third period.
