The Blues outshot the dogs 17-4 in the third and Portage was still able to hold them off until 1:58 left in the third when Kuczek beat Chapman with a shot from the point through a screen.
Unable to decide the game in the extra frame the Terriers would head to the shoot out.
Lough, Wowryk and Cudmore shot for the Blues, Chapman stopping all 3 attempts.
