Langley continued their offensive pressure in the second, with Hayden Pothier doubling the lead before Samarpreet Hansra netted what would stand as the game-winning goal in the final minute of the period.

A brief spark of life came for the home team in the third period. Capitalizing on a power play, Liam McNaughton finally put Island HC on the board with assists from Wade Sangara and Austin Coutu. However, any momentum was quickly extinguished as Langley responded with two more goals. Jack Walker restored the three-goal cushion, and Katie Zhang sealed the victory with her second goal of the game, completing a multi-point performance. The penalty sheet was active throughout, with Langley's Carter Carignan and Braddex Bachler each taking two minors, while Island's Reef Santos Cegnar and Liam Rosse also found themselves in the box.
The story of the game was written in the shot totals and on the scoresheet. Langley's relentless attack, led by Zhang's two goals and key assists from Kayden Montaine and Siwoo Song, proved too much for Island HC to handle. Despite a busy night for Island's goalie, the Langley shooters were ultimately victorious. For Langley, it was a complete team effort that showcased their offensive depth and ability to capitalize on their chances, securing a decisive road win.
