Gilmour needed less than three minutes to respond to level the match.

Paulo Pinto was credited with five saves in goal.
Quotable: Head Coach
Brett Faro
"We played really well tonight in spurts. I was really proud of how the guys bounced back after an unfortunate PK so quickly into the game. This team has a lot of resilience and I am really impressed with how this group continuously battles every game.
"AB is a very good team and they always give us all we can handle. To get a win like this on the road is huge, but we have to stay focused and prepare as well as possible for a tough D&E team Saturday."
