Logan Nijhoff would redirect a point shot home not long after to make it 2-0 for White. Before the period was done, Connor Bedard scored off the rush on the backhand to make it 2-1.
Carter Herman restored team White’s two-goal lead in the second period, a lead they carried into the intermission.
In the third period, Bedard led a team Blue comeback, scoring two goals to even the score at three. Both goals came off the rush. First he one-timed home a pass from Wood on a 2-on-1 and then he fired a quick shot on a 1-on-1 to complete the hat-trick.
With only a few minutes to go in regulation time, Wiltsie centered a pass to Easton Armstrong, who redirected home the game-winning-goal.
