Port Hope returns home Saturday evening for Game 4 with a 2-1 series lead in the  best-of-seven showdown. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at the Jack Burger Sports Complex.
Friday night, the Panthers jumped out to a 2-0 lead less than six minutes into the contest on goals by Logan Kelly at 1:13 and Riley McBride on a power play at 5:57.
Adam Klass answered back for the Rebels with a power-play goal at 17:12 of the first period and teammate Benny Scarr evened the score late in the second with only 31 seconds remaining.
