The Nanaimo Timbermen faced the Saanich Express at home, an evening after being in Campbell River; looking for the same start to this game that they had against the Ravens. The home team had the displeasure of running in to the hot stick of Luke Violini of the Express in the first period. The second period was similar to the first and it wasn't until the third period where Nanaimo was able to slow the Express train down and mounted a bit of a comeback. The third period ended 2-2 and the home club looked to take control for most of it.

Gordie Walls-Good led the Timbermen with (5 goals, 1 assist) and Will Hawthornthwaite (1 goal, 2 assists) and Alex Hurren (2 assists) followed his lead. The Railmen were lead by Luke Violini (5 goals, 1 assist) and Jonny Harmsworth (2 goals, 4 assists), Mason Lo (3 goals, 2 assists), Mike Johansen (2 goals, 2 assists) and Zack Dhillon (1 goal, 3 assists).
