With the six point series tied at 2 points apiece the Minor Atoms travelled to Kitchener on Sunday to battle the Jr Rangers in the pivotal third game. Goals were tough to come by for both teams in this contest but it would be the Rangers who struck first going up 1-0 early in the second period. Minutes later they would stretch their lead to two goals and despite numerous chances the second period would end with the Rangers holding a two goal advantage.  Five minutes into the third period the Jr Rangers lead would grow to three and would stay that way till just under four minutes to play when the Jr Sting would pull their goalie and take advantage of a Kitchener penalty to pull within two goals. With the goalie still pulled the Lambton squad would cut the lead to just one with 52 seconds left to play. Despite some pressure and hard work the game would finish 3-2 for the home Kitchener squad. Scoring for the Jr Sting were Brock Perry and Franco Sproveiro with assists going to Jake Burnard with two and a single to Isaac McLean.
