The Broncos would get an early power play to take their first lead of the night at 4:39 on another man-advantage Parker Rondeau would get his second of the night beating Pats goaltender Cruz Chase to a lose puck and burying it. But in the late stages of the third period, the Pats wouldn't go away as Corbin Almen would tie the game at 5-5 at 14:36 but 19 seconds later it would be Aidan Sexsmith (Calgary, AB) would regain the lead for Swift Current. It would be a lead that would not be relinquished again as Ty Coupland would mark his second of the night with less than three minutes to go and Aidan Sexsmith would hit the empoty net to solidify the Broncos 8-5 win over Regina.
