Marie Greyhounds.Plymouth goaltender Justin Peters stopped 26 of 29 Sault Ste. Marie shots through 65 minutes, then stopped Cody Thornton, Ryan Kitchen and Scott Restoule in the shootout. Before the shootout, Jared Boll scored twice for the Whalers and James Neal scored the other goal.
Sault Ste. Marie goaltender Kyle Gajewski stopped 39 of 42 Plymouth shots through 65 minutes and stopped Andrew Fournier during the shootout.
