Cody Pedersen gave the lead back to the Wolves at 7:55 of the third period, but a goal at 14:02 from Derek Keller. La Ronge was heavily out shot 53-31, including 4-1 in overtime, but it only takes one shot to win in a sudden death situation. The Stars scored two power play goals on six chances, while the Wolves were held scoreless on four advantages. A total of 876 fans were on hand in La Ronge.
