The game stayed tied until the 17:19 mark of the third when Lucas Deeb from a tough far corner angle fired a puck into the net for his 12th goal of the season giving the Bugs a dramatic 1-0 lead. Bryce Boucher and Carter Mckay earned the assists. SHV would then put the game away on the PP w/ the IceRays pulling their netminder, it was Ian Emery banking in an EN goal of his fifth tally of the year making it a 2-0 contest.

Nikola Goich picked up the shutout making 27 stops on the day.

The Bugs will stay on the road to play a Tuesday night, New Year's Eve tilt against the Lone Star Brahmas. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. from the Nytex Sports Centre.
