The Reds made it 4-0 at 17:19 of the first, when Cam Brace (Etobicoke, ON) fed Mark Rassell (Calgary, AB) in front, providing Rassell with the perfect opportunity to finish.   

Just one minute into the second period, Tyler Boland (St. John's, NL) scored on a wraparound.  

Tigers goalie Connor Hicks (Kanata, ON) allowed just the one goal in the second period, while turning aside 21.
