Getting the win for the Lincolns was Brodhagen and taking the loss in net for the Blast was John Faulkner.

In the first period there was plenty of end to end action, but the only goal scored was with 45 seconds remaining off the stick of Silver from Mezenburg.  Shots on net: St. Marys - 7   Sarnia - 6.  Both teams were 0 for 2 with the man advantage.
 
In the second period, just a single goal scored again.  This was a power play goal scored while the Lincs enjoyed a five on three power play with 80 seconds available.  Off serving minors were Marco Ruggeri at 7:31 for slashing and Jon Conrad at 8:11 for tripping.  The Lincs used all but 14 seconds of the two man advantage before capitalizing with a marker by Kemp with assists to Petrie and Ryan.  Once the goal was scored and the Blast were just a man short, Toby Brune and Matt Abercrombie had possession of the puck in St. Marys end and were stoned when attempting to score a short-handed marker.  Shots on goal:  St. Marys - 5/12 Sarnia - 12/18.  St. Marys was 1 for 3 with the man advantage this period and Sarnia was 0 for 5.
 
In the third period, St. Marys took the first minor but after that it was the Blast trekking off to the sin bin and it cost them yet another 5 on 3 goal.  Going off for holding at 7:37 was Marco Ruggeri and then at 8:40 a slashing minor was given to Brad Hurlock.  The Lincs scored their final goal of the game 10 seconds remaining in the minors.  Getting the goal at 9:27 was Logan from Whitcomb and Noyes. The trek to the sin bin for the Blast continued and they finished the game playing two men short.  Shots on goal:  St. Marys - 11/23   Sarnia - 5/23.  St. Marys was 1 for 5 with the man advantage this period and were 2 for 10 in the game.  Sarnia was 0 for 1 this period on the power play and were 0 for 8 in the game.
