Then in the third period, things got interesting. Kaufman scored early in the period, unassisted, but then the Rebels put the pressure on by scoring four goals in a row to tie the game 5-5.

The Rebels then tied it up again, but the Huskies answered this with another goal by Schieven, assisted by Mackey and Kaufman to take a 7-6 lead.

The Huskies were supposed to face the Shallow Lake Lakers, at home, on Nov. 15, but even though the Lakers showed up for the game, they forfeited the game, giving the win to the Huskies.
