Red Deer controlled the second period and scored a pair of goals to take a 2-1 lead into the third. Arshdeep Bains evened up the game 8:14 into the second with his 20th of the campaign. Jackson van de Leest let a slapshot go from the point and Bains was able to shoot in the rebound as he skated through the crease. A few minutes later the Rebels took a lead when Liam Keeler skated in and wristed a shot top corner from the faceoff dot.

The Tigers came out swinging in the third period. They scored an early goal to even things up at two apiece. Logan Barlage continued his scoring ways in the orange and black as he grabbed a rebound off Daniel Baker's shot and put away his 11th on a wrap around. Barlage would strike again midway through the period to give the Tigers a 3-2 lead. Barlage was able stretch out with his stick to redirect Brendan Lee's shot pass for his fifth in four games with the Tigers. Daniel Baker picked up his third assist of the game on the go ahead goal. The Tigers defence was able to clamp down for the back half of the period to secure the victory.
