U of T held the 1-0 lead after 20 minutes of action.
 
Toronto extended their lead 6:43 into the second period at the end of a penalty kill. Klomp cleared the puck from the Toronto zone, which assistant captain Jeff Brown picked up coming out of the penalty box. The forth-year assistant captain made no mistake on the breakaway, firing the puck five hole for the goal.

The Blues led 3-1 heading into the final frame.
 
Both teams traded chances in the third unable to find the back of the net. It wasn't until the final minute of the game that Laurentian's Darcy Haines tipped in a shot on a 6 on 4 opportunity.
 
Toronto held off the come back as veteran Michael Markovic fired a shot down the ice into the empty net.
