The Chase Heat, in their cross uniform of the Abbotsford Heat logo and Ottawa Senators jersey, were tied or had a lead over the Nitro's for 59 minutes and 36 seconds of the game. Just when it seemed like the Dynamiters undefeated start to the season was coming to an end, the impossible became possible.
The Heat had a goalie, Jacob Mattes, who for a majority of the game was having an incredible night. The Nitro's out-shot the Heat 43-26 throughout the game. But the Heat took a 3-1 lead 2 minutes into the third period, despite the shot advantage, and all hope melted away of the undefeated streak.
Darren Martin even tried to score a goal like Ovechkin to cut into the lead.
But with just under three minutes left, Rosolowsky scored to make it 3-2. Then Marchi tied it with 1:24 left and it looked like the game was headed to overtime. Timeouts were being called on both sides to calm the players. And then to complete the comeback, Bogdanek scored with 24 seconds left in the game. It left the attending Heat fans at a loss and dejected, as they watched their team lose a stellar game in 3 minutes, while the Nitro's fans were elated, and the undefeated streak was kept alive!
Nitro's Player of the Game: Jared Marchi, for his game tying goal.
