Tyler Murovich put the visitors back in front with an unassisted marker at 3:17 of the 3rd period. However, the Majors dug deep and Messier answered with a goal at 13:49, with the lone assist going to Daugavins, to knot up the affair. Then, Daugavins' hat trick goal, on a shorthanded breakaway at 15:59, secured the win for Mississauga.
