At 14:49 of the second period, Michael Vukojevic took a checking to the head penalty on a hit on Pavel Gogolev.

The second period would end with the Storm ahead in shots 28-26.

At 1:41 of the third period, one a three-on-one break into Guelph's end, Hawel passed cross-ice to Francesco Pinelli (12) who went bar and in to retake the lead for the Rangers, 2-1.
