Trailing 2-0 after the first period, the Waxers fell behind 3-0 before the offense got untracked. Jesse Boucher put Markham on the board when he took a nicley one-timed pass from Bobby Fitkin in the neutral zone and streaked in unchecked to finish the play started by Albert Ferrante at the 5:45 mark. Under three minutes later, with a faceoff to the Tiger goalie's right, Kevin Tompkins won the draw back to Mark Mitchell whose shot through a maze of legs eluded the tender and cut the lead to one goal. The hot hand of Kevin Cribari continued less than three minutes later, he scored his fourth goal in three games when Ferrante and Mike Stoyan combined on a regroup to send Cribari streaking in alone for another breakaway goal. The score remained tied until the seventeen minute mark when Boucher batted home his second of the night after Fitkin and Jason Duffy had each had previous wrap around attempts stopped. This would prove to the be only lead for the Waxers and was shortlived as the Tigers scored over a minute later sending it into the third tied at 4-4.

The Tigers scored twice in the first 4:29 of the third to go ahead 6-4. The Waxers then continued buzzing around the net but could not bag a goal until the 16:26 mark when Brent Pollock fed Cribari who went in on a 2-on-1 with Paul Robinson and Robinson one-timed home Cribari's pass to cut the lead to 6-5. Numberous attempts in the remaining three minutes went for naught as the Waxers could not beat the Tigers netminder again this evening.

The Waxers next visit Ajax on Tuesday night before returning the favour to host the Axemen on Friday night in a home-and-home series.
