In the third, the Ravens were able break through the Blues defence a few times, scoring three goals. However, the Blues were able to add five themselves to take a 16-4 lead into the final quarter. Continuing to apply the pressure, Toronto found the back of the net eight times in the fourth to round out the scoring .

Leading Toronto to their sixth straight conference banner, Patrick Conn fired home seven goals for the Blues. Marco Ricci recorded four goals for Toronto. Diego Gonzalez Delgado pitched in three markers, while Bruno Marunica, Timmy Pourkazemi and Richard Laurie all scored twice. Aidan Principe, Cameron Hexter and James Glaser each added singles for Toronto.
