Connor Cleverly then brought the Blues within one as his shot off the faceoff trickled through Thunderwolves goaltender Devin Green's legs and in.
 
Lakehead responded though as Alcock picked the top corner less than a minute later for his second of the game.
 
That didn't stop the Blues as Wallace banged in a Matt Campagna rebound on the powerplay with 4:26 remaining in regulation.

Rookie forward Connor Bebb notched the game-tying goal with 1:21 to go to force overtime.
 
The two extra periods solved nothing and the contest went into a shoot out.  Campagna scored a beautiful goal for the Blues, but Lakehead's Dubchak and Kelin Ainsworth both tallied to secure the win.
