Fortin set up the first of the season for Kaleb Percival, the goal that turned out to be the game-winner, at 18:27 of period two.

The Jimmies held on to their 2-1 lead until Brown scored again, assisted by Jordan Baranesky, at 17:51 on the third period.  Matthew McIntyre scored his second of the campaign into an empty net with 24 seconds remaining.
