With Thunder Bay already shorthanded and about to go down two men on a delayed penalty call, Dryden pulled goaltender Dean Shepherdson in favour of an extra attacker. As Nother was the last North Stars’ player to touch the puck before an Ice Dogs inadvertent pass sailed down the length of the ice into the open net at 3:35 of the opening period, he was thus given credit for the unassisted goal. Thunder Bay extended their lead to two at 12:19 thanks to a Mitchell Fox power play effort. Dryden’s Bryce Maggrah cut the deficit in half four minutes later to make it a 2-1 game after 20...
