Caleb Malholtra, Charlie Paquette and Cooper Dennis had a big night, leading Brantford to a 3-1 series lead.
A big part of what makes the Brantford Bulldogs so good is the amount of dangerous players they have up and down their roster.
Some nights, the first line dominates. Some nights, it's the depth and defence that get them through games.
On Tuesday's game four, it was the second line of Caleb Malholtra, Charlie Paquette and Cooper Dennis that led the way in a big game four win over the Barrie Colts.
Here's how they did it.
Brantford (6) - Barrie (1)

Cooper Dennis got the scoring underway just under five minutes into the first with a nice shot past Ben Hrebik, before an Adam Benak power play snipe doubled the lead just past the halfway mark of the opening frame.
Charlie Paquette would make it three under a minute later, and that 3-0 Bulldogs lead would hold into the first intermission.
On a five-on-three, the Colts would get one back early in the second period. An Emil Hemming one timer blasted past Ryerson Leenders, and Barrie was back within two.
They'd push some more, but couldn't keep Brantford's high-powered offence contained. Dennis put home his second of the night to restore the three-goal advantage, before Paquette also doubled down with 21 seconds left in the middle frame.
That put the score pretty far out of reach at 5-1 after two, and Caleb Malholtra added a goal to his three-assist night with a power-play marker in the third, which really put the game to bed.
Leenders made 25 saves, and had plenty of goal support in this one, and now Brantford has a chance to take home the Bobby Orr trophy at home on Thursday night.
