The first-place Kings extend their point total to 17 in the PJHL Stobbs Division. The Admirals get a point for the overtime loss and are tied for third place with nine points.
Max Clifford opened the scoring with the only goal of the first frame, at 4:25, putting the Addys up 1-0.
There was no scoring in the second period, but Dresden outshot Amherstburg 9-8 in those 20 minutes.

Vandenboorn's overtime winner was scored at 2:48 of the extra frame.
Brett Brochu stopped all but one of the 25 shots he faced between the pipes for Dresden. Jared Ratko had 26 saves in goal for Amherstburg,
