The Wolverines would strike first on the PP just 8:06 into the 1st when a side-angle shot from Brody Moffatt would go off of Anthony Bilka and into the back of the net for his 11th of the year to make it 1-0.

The Stampeders responded just over 6 minutes later as Luke Beerman got a loose puck in front and whistled it back Liam Terposky for his 13th to even it at 1-1.

Just 2:12 later, Parker Johnson notched home his 7th of the campaign slipping through Tereposky to help the Stamps grab their first lead at 2-1.

But the Wolverines would tie it up at 2-2 with 23 seconds left in the 1st as Gerrik Ripley's long point shot beat a screened Mikael Foucher for his 8th of the year.

Shots after 1 were tied at 10-10.

The Stampeders would regain their one goal lead just 84 seconds in the middle frame as Parker Johnson banged home his 2nd of the night to make it 3-2 then 3:54 later, Josh Maucieri finished off a nice passing play on the power play for his 5th of the season to make it a two goal game.

The Wolverines would get one back as Jaymes Knee dump-in and as Mikael Foucher went out to play the puck and it went off on a stanchion and right out in the slot to Rayman Bassi who chipped into the empty-net to cut their deficit to one, at 4-3.

Swan Valley would respond though with two quick goals before the 2nd period buzzer would go off as Callum Fortin and Nathan Carl made it a 6-3 lead on the Wolverines after 40 minutes.

Wayway led the shot column 31-22 after 2 periods.
