In the final minute of play in the first, Bear would counter again pushing the Tips lead to 4-1 from Rylan Pearce.

The Broncos would outshoot the Silvertips in the period 12-10 and would be reward with the period’s lone goal with 19 seconds left as Mistelbacher would get his 5th of the season unassisted to cut the Everett lead down to 4-2.

Into the third period the Broncos were faced with an early penalty kill that was successful but moments after the kill, Eric Jamieson would pounce on a lose puck beating Reid Dyck (Winkler, MB) at 8:54. The Broncos would get a power play of their own in the second half of the third period as Ty Coupland (North Vancouver, BC) at 10:34 would get the Broncos within a pair of goals at 10:34 but that’s as close as they’d get as Tyler MacKenzie would add an empty netter to solidify the Silvertips victory 6-3.
