The low-scoring affair quickly shifted as Oshawa responded just minutes later. Calum Ritchie fired a shot from the point, and Colby Barlow deflected it past Frontenacs’ goalie, Nolan Lalonde, tying the game at 1-1. The goal was briefly reviewed for a possible high stick, but it ultimately stood, reigniting the competition.

Kingston reclaimed the lead after a costly defensive lapse from Oshawa. With the Generals failing to clear the puck, Vann Williamson kept it in at the blue line, and Maleek McGowan seized the opportunity. McGowan walked in from the blue line, shooting a wrist shot under Oshawa’s goalie Jacob Oster’s glove, securing a late 2-1 lead. This goal proved decisive, standing as the game-winning tally, as Kingston clinched the victory.
