Barrie started the scoring early in a first period that saw six goals find the back of the net. Oshawa answered with a pair of their own but the Colts buried three in just over four minutes giving them a 4-2 lead at the intermission.

The second period saw the two teams trade goals as the Gens were unable to make up any ground in the middle frame.

Oshawa cut the two-goal lead in half when Brooks Rogowski was able to score a little after the halfway point of the period. Barrie was able to lock things down when they scored a couple minutes later and added an empty net later to seal the deal.
