Oshawa opened the scoring 13 minutes in to the game for the early 1-0 lead.  The Waxers tied the game later in the period with just over 1 minute left to play.  Patrick Diotte fed the puck to Jesse Boucher on the rush and Boucher circled back up the boards after crossing deep in to the Oshawa zone.  Boucher waited long enough for Derek Doucette to jump in the open hole and fed hinm a perfect pass in full stride.  Doucette faked the shot, went around the sliding Oshawa defender then roofed a wrist shot over the blocker to tie the game.

The second period was scoreless until the final minute when Oshawa reclaimed the one goal lead.  The Waxers would get that goal back quickly in the second after just 3 minutes had elapsed.  Kevin Cribari cycled the puck in to the corner for Michael Fish who made a quick centering pass to find Paul Robinson all alone on the back door play.  Robinson tapped the puck home in to a wide open net to tie the game.

Oshawa regained the lead with a goal on a 4-on-4 situation with just under 4 minutes to play.  The Waxers then killed off a late penalty and with goalie Kevin Sit pulled for an extra attacker tied the game and sent it to overtime.  The tying goal resulted from a scramble around the net off a Doucette shot.  The puck squirted out to the side and Boucher picked it up, found Diotte all alone at the point and Diotte fired a high hard slap shot over the glove of the Legionaires goalie.

Overtime saw the line of Steve Nobili, Joey Grasso and Young dominate the play down low in the Oshawa end.  Cycling the puck over and over, Grasso finally moved the puck back to the point to Mark Mitchell.  His low shot on net was stopped but the rebound went right on the stick of Young who stepped around the goalie on his backhand and slid the winner home.

It was the second straight win for Sit who stopped 28 shots for the victory.
