Just 21 seconds into the third period, Sheeran scored his own goal, deking a couple of Chargers before beating the Mississauga goalie. Tim Kielich and Ben Casale assisted. At the 8:53 mark, Ruff (in photo) scored his first OJHL goal, assisted by Nick Gullo and Tyler Gjurich. Egan completed Buffalo’s scoring with his second goal of the game.
