Thorold finally outshot the Falcons in the third period, going 11-9 over the last 20 minutes of regulation time in the game. The extra shots may or may not have accounted for the tying goal they scored in the third, while on the power-play, from Shane Davidson.

Five minutes of 4-on-4 proved nothing, as the two teams combined for seven shots in the overtime period, to place the game in the books tied 1-1 after 65 minutes of hockey. The Falcons were called for a total of 13 penalties Thursday night, while the home team tallied 16 infractions, including one during the overtime period.

The Falcons next home game is Friday night against the visiting Stoney Creek Warriors. Game time is 7:30pm.
