SUDBURY, ON - The Majors were defeated 4-3 in overtime this evening by Sudbury in a game that featured early power-plays and late dramatics.

Tuzzolino notched the game's 1st goal, 7:32 into the affair, on the power-play, off of Jonathan D'Aversa and Kevin Baker feeds.

The helpers were provided by Ryan Wilson (2), Tyler Donati and Cory Vitarelli.
