Ontario got on the board twice in the middle frame taking a 2-1 lead into the dressing room through 40 minutes.

Aatu Jämsen (11th) tied the score at 10:09 on a deflection at the top of the crease after Joe Hicketts flung the puck to the cage from the left-wing wall. With 3:09 remaining in the period Cole Guttman (16th) provided a deflection near the net off a point shot from Angus Booth giving the Reign their first lead of the night. Shots were 18-8 Ontario in the period as they went 0-for-2 on the man advantage.

Jared Wright (12th) scored an empty netter with Erik Portillo receiving the assist making it a 4-2 advantage with 1:50 to play. Once again the Condors pulled Tomkins for the extra skater and Viljami Marjala scored on a wrist shot in the high slot making it 4-3 but the Reign would eventually prevail despite being outshot 7-3 in the final stanza.
