Max Avery got the Cards on the scoreboard midway through the second.
Roen Douglas tied it up for the Lancers with 3:23 left in the third.
An overtime period did not settle the game which went to a shootout.
Avery scored the only goal in the shootout lifting Lambton-Kent past last year’s OFSAA silver medalists.
Kyler Van Esse had the win in net for the Cards.
LK hosts the SWOSSAA final in Dresden 2 pm Thursday. With a win the Cards advances to OFSAA.
It would also give LCCVI a second chance to go to OFSAA in a challenge round. SWOSSAA has two berths to the final because LCCVI won silver at the tournament last year.
