Hot off their overtime victory twenty four hours earlier in game one, the Portage Terriers played host to game two on Thursday evening.
After both teams had goals disallowed early on, the Stampeders opened the scoring with just over three minutes remaining in the middle frame to give the visitors the 1-0 lead through forty minutes. The Terriers evened the score at one, nine and a half minutes into the third as Tyler Moore buried the biscuit on the power play. Tanner Harms and Brett Adnum picked up assists on the goal that sent the game to overtime for the second consecutive night.
After a scoreless ten minute overtime period settled nothing, both clubs took a well deserved intermission break. Andrew Wiebe made sure early that the weak of heart would not suffer as the Thunder Bay native snapped home the goal that sent the home town faithful into a frenzy. Mike Gemmell and Jason Kasdorf assisted on the game winner just two minutes into the fifth period.
Kasdorf, for the second night in a row, picked up the victory in net stopping 40 of the 41 shots directed his way. Through the two ten-minute overtime frames Kasdorf was peppered with 13 shots, holding of the Stampeders attack and then assisting on Andrew Wiebe's game-winning goal at the two minute mark.
Both teams will now have three days off before meeting in Swan River for game three next Monday night. Game four will follow that up on Tuesday evening, once again at the home of the Stampeders.
