The Ottawa 67s managed to stave off elimination by winning game 5 in the best of 7 against the Barrie Colts at the J. Benson Cartage centre in Ottawa. The Colts were leading the series 3-1 going in.
The 67s got the scoring underway at 7:47 in the second period with a power play goal by Cody Ceci. The Colts responded late in the period with a shot By Daniel Erlich that just managed to get past Petr Mrazek. Tyler Toffoli responded with his 9th goal of the playoff with only seconds left at the end of the second.
The third period offered a lot of turnovers, with the 67s ability to set up plays in front of the goal limited by a strong Colts defense. A holding penalty to Marc Zanetti with 3 minutes remaining meant that the 67s we forced to hold their position.
