Andrew Bodnarchuk scored the goal, his first of the season, with Brandon Kozun and Jordan Weal picking up the assists. With right around seven minutes left in the period the Monarchs had a bit of a frenzy in front of the P-Bruin's net ripping off a series of shots but couldn't find the back of the net. The Monarchs Kozun scored at the 17:41 mark of the third to tie the game at two. For Kozun it was his first goal of the season, with Weal and Bodnarchuk grabbing the assists. The game went into overtime tied at two.
