Menace player Holden Rogers then took the lead for Milton with a goal one minute into the third. It was assisted by James Barbour and Thomas Gordon. Oakville then tied the game again. It was 2-2 after 60-minutes, sending the game to overtime.
Two periods of overtime were not enough as the game ended in a 2-2 tie.
Regular back-up Ryan Dugas stopped 20 of 22 shots for the Menace. Milton put on 49 shots on the Blades goaltender.
