HC Edmonton put on an offensive clinic, cruising to a decisive 9-2 victory over the Titans Hockey Union in a game that was as much about physical play as it was about scoring. The visitors set the tone early, with Ryder Forster opening the scoring just over two minutes into the first period. The onslaught continued with goals from Jake Evans, Daniel Skalicky—who netted the eventual game-winner—and Ethan Aujla, giving HC Edmonton a commanding 4-0 lead after the first frame. The Titans struggled to contain Edmonton's speed and puck movement, managing only three shots on goalie Maximus Papachristopoulos in the period while taking a pair of early penalties.
The second period saw the game's physical intensity boil over. A major altercation at the 6:54 mark led to fighting majors and game misconducts for Edmonton's Daniel Skalicky and the Titans' Wesley Lizotte, ejecting both players from the contest. Amidst the chaos, HC Edmonton extended their lead with goals from Tiago Chanak, Tristan Aidoo, Chase Harrington, and Lucas Markel. The period was marred by a string of penalties, including an illegal check to the head and misconduct against the Titans' Luc Rodrigue. Despite outshooting Edmonton 10-18 in the period, the Titans couldn't solve Papachristopoulos, who was solid in the Edmonton net.
The third period provided little respite for the home team as Ty Edwards added another for HC Edmonton early on. The Titans finally broke through on the scoreboard with a goal from Rylan Scarfe and a late marker from Carter Rennie, but it was far too little, too late. The game concluded with a flurry of misconduct penalties, underscoring a frustrating night for the Titans. HC Edmonton's offensive depth was the story of the game, with multiple players contributing on the scoresheet, while Bennett Neilson faced a barrage of 42 shots in the losing effort for the Titans.
