North Bay Battalion Rebound to Beat Barrie Colts in Game 7 and Advance to Eastern Conference Finals

The North Bay Battalion bounced back with a 3-1 victory over the Barrie Colts after losing 4-2 in Game 6.

Barrie scored first late in the opening frame, but North Bay tied the game with a powerplay goal from Kyle Jackson and took the lead with another powerplay goal from Kyle McDonald. They then secured their win with an empty net goal from Owen Van Steensel. North Bay will face the Peterborough Petes in the Eastern Conference Finals, holding home ice advantage.
