Thorold opened the third period with a goal off a bad Falcons giveaway which tied the game 2-2 just 1:35 into the period. In an attempt to clear the zone in front of the Falcons net, defenseman Mike Stone paused just long enough to let Thorold forward Jason Aucoin put a shot past an unsuspecting Steele De Fazio, in net for St. Catharines.

A different Falcons team hit the ice in the third period, allowing a second weak goal with only 2:08 left to play in the third. Ryan Bellows walked in with ease and scored on De Fazio to give Thorold a 3-2 lead and eventual game winner. The victory ties the best-of-seven final series back up 2-2.

Attendance inside Jack Gatecliff Arena Monday night was announced at 1,268 fans.
