Oshawa responded quickly, as Harrison Franssen recorded his first goal of the night to extend the General’s lead to 3-1. The period closed with Oshawa holding a 28-17 advantage in shots on goal.
The third period opened with a penalty for Oshawa General’s Lucas Moore for cross checking, giving the Brampton Steelheads an early power-play opportunity. Harrison Franssen and Owen Cartwright headed to the box for fighting at 7:08.
The Steelheads generated momentum midway through the third period, registering four shots on goal in a strong offensive push. Despite the late pressure, Brampton was unable to close the gap, as Oshawa sealed the game with an empty net-goal at 19:45.
