HC Edmonton came out firing on all cylinders in a commanding 7-2 victory over the Calgary Rockies, setting the tone early with an offensive explosion in the first period. The Rockies struck first just 40 seconds into the game when Seth Scutt found the back of the net, assisted by Graydon Proctor and Liam Beswick. But Edmonton responded with a relentless attack, scoring five unanswered goals in the opening frame. Daniel Skalicky tied the game, followed by Felix Hawryluk, Krish Khullar, and Ryder Forster, who each beat Rockies netminder Rylan Harder. Chase Harrington then extended the lead early in the second period, effectively putting the game out of reach as Edmonton’s offense overwhelmed the Calgary defense, outshooting the Rockies 33-13 through the first two periods.
The game took a physical and penalty-filled turn in the third period, with both teams combining for a staggering 56 minutes in penalties. Edmonton capitalized on the power play when Tiago Chanak scored his first of the night, assisted by Ethan Aujla. The Rockies managed to break through on their own power play late in the period, with Brody Stovka converting a setup from Nathan Graham and Carson Paulgaard. However, any momentum was short-lived as Chanak netted his second of the game in the final minute, sealing the decisive win for Edmonton. The physicality escalated with multiple misconducts and a match penalty, including a game misconduct to Edmonton’s Daniel Skalicky for a crosscheck, highlighting a chippy finish to the contest.
In goal, Maximus Papachristopoulos was a steady presence for HC Edmonton, turning aside 24 of 26 shots to secure the victory. Despite a busy night facing 43 shots, Calgary’s Rylan Harder was unable to stem the tide against Edmonton’s relentless offensive pressure. The win was a complete team effort for HC Edmonton, who showcased both their scoring depth and discipline in special teams, while the Calgary Rockies will look to regroup after a game that got away from them both on the scoreboard and in terms of composure.
