Langley was ahead 2-1 after 20 minutes but trailed 4-3 with a period to play and cut the deficit to a single goal with 8:41 to play, before the Timbermen struck for power-play goals to build a 7-4 advantage.

Erik Forsselius scored twice for the Thunder while Jonathan Grywacheski and Bailey Vanichuk each had a goal and two helpers. Jake Newby and Cade Beck-Boreson had the other goals for Langley.

Nanaimo was led three goals from Matthew Boas while Dylan Manson had a goal and four helpers.
