The Spitfires pulled ahead in the second period when Josh Currie beat Costantini and Will Cuylle netted his 14th playoff goal to give Windsor a 2-1 advantage.

The Bulldogs continued to press in the third period and despite having a goal called back because of goaltender interference they managed to send the game to overtime.

OHL defenceman of the year Nathan Staios fired the puck from the point which deflected off a Windsor player and into the goal behind Onuska with 1:57 left in regulation.
