The Kingston Voyageurs tried to dig themselves out of a two-goal hole, but the Aurora Tigers held on for a 3-2 victory.

The win gave the Tigers a 2-0 lead in the best of seven series.

Curtis Warren was all over the ice for Aurora, as he finished with two goals in the win.

Kingston also got a goal from Brett Seney as well. In addition, Kingston received assists from Adam Brady, Alex Tonge, Brody Heleno, and Jarret Kup, who each chipped in one.
