The teams traded chances for the remainder of the second period. Early in the third, McGee scored to knot the game at three goals apiece. Each team failed to score during a third-period power-play opportunity, and the clock expired with the score tied.
Overtime!
This was the first-ever overtime game in the two-season history of this league. Since this is old-timey hockey, we allow ties. When a regular-season game ends with a tie, each team earns a point in the standings. There's none of that modern shootout crap! But when it comes to playoff games, there has to be a winner and a loser. Tonight, for the first time, we went into an extra time.
And it was decided very quickly. Less than two minutes into the overtime period, McGee scored to clinch the come-from-behind victory for the Comets. Now the championship series is tied at one game each, with the third and final game to be hosted by the Victorias.
