In a back and forth back between the leagues top two teams the Bandits defense was the story as they shut down the Hurricanes in the 3rd period to take a 11-9 victory in what could be a playoff preview.

The 3rd saw both teams defences' and goalies' play hard and protect their ends, though Bandits were able to get 1 goal in on the Hurricanes, overall winning this game 11-9.
