Box Score
VANCOUVER – For the second straight night, the Lethbridge Pronghorns (2-3-3) went to overtime with the UBC Thunderbirds (4-6-0) and for the second straight night the T-Birds scored in overtime to earn a 3-2 victory.
After Bardaro and Manraj Hayer each scored in the second period to give UBC a 2-1 lead heading into the third, the Pronghorns evened the game with eight minutes remaining as Cory Millette scored his second of the game.
The Thunderbirds had a number of quality scoring chances in the third but couldn't beat Damien Ketlo, who made 24 saves in the loss.
After 4-on-4 overtime solved nothing, the T-Birds took less than a minute of 3-on-3 double overtime to finish with the win. Just 32 seconds in, Bardaro powered across the low slot and outwaited Ketlo for his second of the game and seventh of the season.
Bardaro has now scored in six straight games with a total of 11 points in that span.
Matt Hewitt put up yet another strong performance in goal for UBC making 26 saves for his second win of the season earning the game's second star.
The Pronghorns opened scoring on the power play 5:33 into the first period with Millette's first of the game and second of the season. From the right side of the net, Torrin White centred the puck towards the front of the net. It went off a UBC defenceman's stick right to Millette, who made the tap-in.
Despite three power plays of their own in the frame, the Thunderbirds couldn't find the back of the net but did create several very good chances. UBC finished the game 0-for-5 on the man advantage while the Pronghorns went 1-for-5.
The T-Birds got on the board 3:36 into the second period with Bardaro's first of the game from Chase Clayton.
UBC then took the lead for the first time with just under five minutes remaining in the period when Hayer made a power drive towards the net from the right-wing side and roofed the puck just under the crossbar for his first of the season.
Now a point ahead of the Pronghorns and tied with the Bisons for fifth in the Canada West, the T-Birds have a week off from league action before hitting the road to face the Regina Cougars November 18-19.
Lethbridge will travel to Winnipeg for two games against the Manitoba Bisons next weekend.
