Playoff Recap: Colts Win In OT Again, Force Game 7 In East Final
Heroics at both ends of the ice see the Barrie Colts push the Eastern conference final to a game seven.
The Barrie Colts have pulled a rabbit out of the hat again. Just like game five with their backs up against the wall, a gritty Colts side has managed to pick up a huge overtime win, and now force a game seven in the Eastern conference final against the Brantford Bulldogs. The Bobby Orr trophy remained in its case once again tonight, the final time it stays hidden in 2026.
Here's all the action from Saturday night's game six in Barrie. Brantford (3) - Barrie (4) (OT) Overager Mason Zebeski scored the overtime winner in game six. (Photo: Terry Wilson/OHL Images) It definitely wasn't the prettiest, but the Colts managed to do it.
The Bulldogs on the road took control in the first period, holding a 19-9 advantage in shots and a 1-0 advantage in goals after one, thanks to a Cooper Dennis tally. Early in the second, Barrie got one back. Jaiden Newton's second of the postseason got the Sadlon Arena on their feet and the game back even.
But it was Brantford who fought back again. Ryder Boulton scored a rather impressive deflection for his first career playoff goal to make it 2-1, and then Jake O'Brien sniped one in alone to extend the lead to three. Once again, the shots and balance of play were heavily on the side of the Bulldogs in the middle frame.
