The "tilted floor" was apparent in the third as the Pioneers outscored the Indians 8-2 to seal their 4th win of the season. Ladner's Mitch Jones had a huge night with 6 goals and 5 assists while Zach Richards, in his first start in net, stopped 42 of 53 shots.

The Indians returned home to face the Coquitlam Bandits the next night at Harry Jerome Rec Centre and defeated the Bandits 11-8. Coquitlam held leads of 4-1 and 6-3 at the intermissions, but North Shore had a monster final frame scoring 8 goals while surrendering only 2 en route to their 3rd win of the season. The Indians' Adam Charalambides led scoring (3G, 3A) with Lee Jackman holding fort in net, stopping 36 of 44 shots.
