Lucas Ciona tied things up at 1-1 for the Wranglers, two minutes into the middle frame. Kevin Conley re-established the Manitoba lead ten minutes later, sneaking one past Cooley to make things 2-1 for the Moose. Milic made eight stops in net for Manitoba, and Cooley made seven saves at the other end for the Wranglers.
Calgary's Sam Morton tied the game again, putting the score at 2-2 with five minutes left in the final frame. Not to be denied, Manitoba struck back with a late go-ahead tally.
