Less than six minutes into the second stanza, Parker Gavlas and Elijah Brown combined to set up Baxter Anderson to score his sixth goal of the season.

In the third period, Chyzowski completed his hat trick with just over five minutes remaining in the game. His third goal of the night was his 30th of the season.

The Broncos responded by scoring just over a minute after Chyzowski to cut the Tigers lead to 4-2. With two minutes remaining in the game, Broncos netminder Isaac Poulter made way for an extra attacker. The Tabbies won possession and James Hamblin scored on the empty net to seal the 5-2 Tigers victory.
