Lexington, shut out for the previous 5 home periods, exploded for 3 goals in the third to steal 2 points from the Red Deer Avros. The Avs scored only once in the first against Robert Esche despite multiple rebound attempts, but after Red Deer's second goal in the second Coach Fotiu pulled him for Duane Roloson. "Robert had a tough game against Brandon, and he wasn't getting any defensive help out there. He looked tired, and this team needed a kick in the rear," said Coach Fotiu. That seemed to right the ship for Lexington, as play evened out in the rest of the second period.
 
Niklas Lidstrom provided the spark with a shorthanded goal at 6:22 of the third, and Rob Brind'Amour evened the score 3 minutes later on a power play. With less than 3 minutes left in regulation, Sergei Brylin feed Frederik Modin with a perfect pass, and Frederik dunked the donut to give Lexington the victory. Lexington finishes block 2 3-2 at home.
 
The three stars were:
 
1. Niklas Lidstrom - SHG breaks 5 period scoreless drought - also 2 hits and 2 takeaways
2. Frederik Modin - GWG, A
3. Cory Stillman - 1G, 1A, +1, 7 shots in a losing effort
 
The goat of the game was Chris Pronger, who took three consecutive third period penalties, one of which allowed Lexington to tie the score. After the game he could not be reached for comment.
