Evan Breckles scored at 19:48 of the third period to tie the game at 4.
Zach Corte scored at 4:16 of the second overtime to give the Spirit a 5-4 win and a commanding 3-0 lead in their OJHL Conference quarter final.
Riley Noble,Ryan Schaap, Jayden Levesque and Sacha Trudel scored for the Dukes.

Meanwhile, the Trenton Golden Hawks play the Pickering Panthers in Game 4 of their series tonight (Friday) at 7:30.
