The second period the Wolverines got on the board early, scoring at 1:49 to go ahead 1-0. Carter Cowlthorp would answer back for the Caps at 9:27 in the period for his fifth goal of the season assisted by Dylan Cusmano and Marco Creta. After two periods of play, the game was tied 1-1. Shots on goal in the second were 20-10 in favour of the Caps.
The third period left the game at a 1-1 tie and it would have to be answered in overtime.

Seconds later Kyle Salaway put one past Wayway’s goalie to win the game assisted by Tanner Lewis. The Caps picked up their third straight win with the 2-1 overtime win tonight!
