Castle found the back of the net for the equalizer at 1:48 of the third, with assists going to Nolan Dann and Rodwin Dionicio. The IceDogs would take the lead less than two minutes later with Pasquale Zito hitting for his third from Brenden Sirizzotti and Nathan Ribau. Now it was Erie's turn to even things at three at the seven minute mark. The Otters would get the edge 31-27 in shots through regulation.The game would be decided 2:35 into extra time as Erie would grab the extra point. The IceDogs now sport a 3-3-2 mark on the season.
