But just under 4 minutes later, Knox captain Brandon Kayter would bank home his 12th of the season off the back of Rebels goalie Nolan Berner to tie things up at 1-1 after 2.

The game would stay tied until the 8:21 mark of the 3rd as Brett Turgeon would snap home his 17th goal of the season and that would stand as game winner as the Knox would notch their 15th win of the season to move within 5 points of the Rebels for 2nd place in the PJHL's South division.

Johnathan Loeffler was sensational in the Knox goal making 55 saves in the win while Nolan Bernermade 17 saves in the loss.
