In the middle period each team scored a goal to head to the final 20 minutes tied again but this time ar 3 goals apiece. Erik Lilliecreutz pounced on a rebound to beat Lynx goaltender Jacobsen. The third period was a cautious affair as both teams didn’t want to commit the fatal mistake that would result in the go ahead goal. At the 11:52, some hard corner work paid off as Italy’s Filippo Guaita put the Titans ahead. A solid game by several Titans including Tyson Lambert on the blue line, Alex Provost-Ross was his usual hard working forward, winning important face offs and working hard on the boards digging out pucks.
