STARS: 3. Falkenham (HAL) | 2. Lewis (HAL) | 1. Fucale (HAL)

Attendance: 10,595

HALIFAX - Zach Fucale was a beast once again as he recorded his third shutout of the playoffs. Just like in Game 4 of the Drakkar/Armada series, Baie-Comeau seemed to not like losing at all. There was a dust up in the second period and than a few more at the last couple of minutes of the game. Jonathan Drouin hit a Drakkar player who got up and than Drouin hit the same player again into the boards. The player stayed laying on the ice for a few minutes while another Baie-Comeau player jumped Drouin and a fight ensued. Big Jo was lucky enough not to get anything for it. It looked like it was going to be a very low scoring game with neither team being able to put a puck past the goaltenders in the first 43 minutes and 40 seconds. Konrad Abeltshauser scored the only goal in the 2nd period.
