Both teams exchanged goals in the second period, Dylan Tonks doubled the Outlaw lead at 7:08, and Tyler Cannon responded over a minute later to cut Aldergrove’s deficit to only one goal.In the third, coast-to-coast dash from Matthew Konrad at 13:10 proved to be the winner for Mission. A marker from DJ Horne with under five minutes remaining kept the game within reach for the Kodiaks, but a late empty netter from Konrad put it to rest. The loss is Aldergrove’s first in regulation dating back to Dec. 23, 2019.

Outlaws goalie Isaac Elias put aside 28 of the 31 shots he faced. The series now shifts to Mission with Game 3 on Saturday night.
