However, 20 seconds later the Thunder tied it up with a shorthanded odd-man rush. In the final minute of the period RW Kevin Baker's shot deflected off a Condors skate and in to make it 2-1.
The Thunder scored the only goal of the final period, with LW Ian O'Connor redirecting a shot past Keetley to account for the final margin. The Condors were outshot 38-32.
