Kitchener stormed back from down two goals late in the second period to win 3-2 in a shootout. After a scoreless first period, Guelph scored twice in the middle frame before Cameron Mercer scored his first of the year to cut the lead in half. Midway through the third, Luke Ellinas scored his team-leading sixth of the year to even the score. No score in the overtime period meant the game called for a shootout. Trent Swick and Tanner Lam both scored to seal the extra of point for the Blueshirts. The East Avenue Blue have now earned a point in eight straight games.
