The Oiler defense tightened up, but the Storm struck again in the 20th minute, this time when Jack Bole found Oestlund.

Findlay came out of the gate looking like a whole new team. They got on the board in just the 47th minute, and six minutes later, they found the back of the net once more to knot the game at two.
