The Markham Thunder took advantage of many opportunities on the power play to come out on top, winning a nail-biter 4-3 over Les Canadiennes on Saturday evening in front of a packed house at the Bell Sports Complex.
The game plan was very simple for either team. Les Canadiennes win, and they’re off to the Clarkson Cup final for the fourth time in five seasons. For the Thunder, win and they live to play another day in the third and deciding game on Sunday afternoon.
Both Erin Ambrose, who left game one early and led all Canadiennes defenders in points, and captain Marie-Philip Poulin were both out of the lineup.
