In the 3rd, the Hawks powerplay would take over. Mils defenceman Mitchell Torrens would be issued a 5 minute major for head contact and the Hawks would strike twice. First off SJHL's leading scoring dman Josh McDougall one-timer would beat Colby Entz five-hole for his 9th goal of the season to give them their first lead 2-1. Veteran forward Grant Baetsen would make it 3-1 as his long snap-shot would beat the Mils net minder on the blocker side to give them a 2 goal lead.
