Pickering showed great determination in this one, coming back from a two-goal deficit in the second period to tie it up on goals from Drew McLennan (4) (assisted by Dunning & Wilson) and Quinn Binnie (13) (assisted by Hill & Key). That was it for scoring until 4:14 into the second OT period, when the Spirit scored the game-winner with both teams playing 3-on-3.

Ian Michelone again produced some highlight-reel saves, including a breakaway stop, making 33 saves on the night. Pickering fought hard to gain the single point, but ultimately fell 3-2 to Stouffville in double overtime.

The Panthers will try to add to their point total again on Sunday night, February 2nd, when they host the St. Michaels Buzzers in the Den at 7:30 pm.
