The Northstars came out flying from the opening faceoff, setting the tone for a dominant performance against Coquitlam. Mathéo Ross opened the scoring midway through the first period, assisted by Kyle Courtney, before Lincoln Wigle netted what would stand as the game-winning goal just five minutes later. The Northstars' offensive pressure was relentless, outshooting Coquitlam 21-3 in the opening frame and establishing complete control of the game.
The second period saw the Northstars extend their lead with goals from Olivier Pigeon, Luke Collins, and Lincoln Wigle's second of the game. The period took a physical turn when Connor Fudge received a boarding major and game misconduct at 5:12, putting the Northstars down a man. Despite being shorthanded, Brody Sullivan scored a spectacular shorthanded goal in the final minute of the period to make it 6-0. The physical play continued into the third period as Mathéo Ross also received a charging major and game misconduct at 9:53, but even that couldn't slow the Northstars' offense as Hunter Leckie and Lincoln Wigle (completing his hat trick) added to the tally.
Coquitlam managed to break Owen Picken's shutout bid late in the game when Sora Kodama scored a power play goal with just 1:39 remaining, assisted by Tanner Dickson. The Northstars' overwhelming shot advantage of 46-15 told the story of a game completely controlled by the home team, with Lincoln Wigle's hat trick performance and multiple players contributing assists leading the offensive charge in this decisive victory.
