The Wildcats finally found their legs in the final frame and began to push back.  Eventually, their hard work led to a powerplay and Ashton Bell was able to score off the rush with 12:31 remaining in the period to make the game 2-1.  Haley Wickham and Mckenzie Meek each picked up assists on the play. That goal seemed to put the Flames on their heels a bit and the Wildcats really made a push . But is was a huge save by Jenna Marshall that kept the Wildcats alive and they responded with a couple really intense shifts and were once again rewarded with a powerplay.  This time it was Tori Williams who buried a rebound to tie the game at 2-2 with 4:05 remaining in the 3rd.  Josee Casavant and Aly O'Hara each picked up an assist on the play.  The Wildcats outshot the Flames 10-2 in the period.  The Flames took 3 of 4 penalties in the frame.
