Matt Osadick would make it 2-0 as he let a rocket go from the point just over six and a half minutes later. Steinbach would cut into the lead as Riley Vautour would score his fourth of the playoffs at 12:08. Foxwarren, MB product Tucker Scantlebury would score two goals, just over three minutes apart and the Stampeders held a commanding 4-1 lead after 20 minutes of play.<\/p>\n
Tanner Mole would cut into the Stamps lead at the 6:34 mark of the second period and Kyle Bettens made things interesting in the third, scoring his fourth of the post season at 14:42 but it wasn\u2019t enough. Dane Hirst scored into an empty net and the Stampeders skated to a 5-3 win, advancing to the MJHL Finals for the first time in the teams 20 year history.
