• After winning the ensuing faceoff, Canton again pulled Hopkins for the extra attacker.  The Roos maintained control of the puck in the Mustang zone and at 19:30 Reilly McKinnon one-timed a shot from the point past Goumas to tie the game 3-3.  Riding momentum from their previous two goals, the Roos headed to overtime
