The Waxers rolled in to North York Sunday afternoon riding high after a strong showing the game before and carried the momentum through the weekend after a solid 5-3 victory over the host Rangers.  Rob Cundari earned his second victory of the weekend stopping 23 shots as the Waxers narrowly outshot the Rangers by a 27-26 margin.

North York opened the scoring just past the halfway mark of the opening period but the Waxers would tie the game before the period ended.  Stephen Wong made a perfect outlet pass to Derrell Levy who stormed down the wing and blasted a hard slapshot past the Rangers goalie, low on the blocker side.  The first was quiet in terms of chances as the teams ended tied in shots, 5-5.

Markham jumped out to its first 2 goal lead in the second when they were able to bag two goals in the opening 7:02 of the period.  The first saw Levy and Josh Jacobs lead a 2-on-2 rush up the ice and as the puck eventually found its way in front, there was Albert Ferrante to deposit his first of the season.  The Waxers followed that with a powerplay goal, Ryan Olidis finishing off the play started by Jacobs and Ben Cottreau.  North York got one back before the end of the period to make it 3-2 entering the third.

Markham regained their two goal lead, 2:51 in to the period after seeing Cundari stone a Ranger in close from point blank range.  The Waxers corralled the rebound and Steve Ritchie sent Daniel Torres and Nathaniel Brooks away on a 2-on-1, which ended with Brooks dunking a sweet goal mouth pass from Torres.  North York closed the gap again a few minutes later but Olidis and Cottreau teamed up to seal the victory.  While killing a penalty, Olidis was able to strip the Ranger defense and get away a shot on net with the rebound coming right to Cottreau who would bury his 29th of the season.
