The Surrey Eagles HA dominated the Lloydminster Athletics in a 6-2 victory that was heavily influenced by special teams and a parade to the penalty box. The Eagles set the tone early, outshooting the Athletics 16-7 in the first period and capitalizing on their opportunities. Cristian Phillips opened the scoring for Surrey midway through the period, and Parvaan Dulai doubled the lead on a power play shortly after, setting the stage for a commanding performance. The Eagles' power play was relentless, converting multiple chances as the game wore on.
The second period was where the game truly slipped away from Lloydminster. Surrey exploded for four goals, with Dulai netting his second on another power play, followed by an even-strength marker from Kayden Sran. Austin Liu and Travis Dressler also found the back of the net with the man advantage, showcasing Surrey's lethal special teams. The period was marred by penalties for the Athletics, including a major penalty for checking from behind by Dylan Polson, which gave the Eagles extended time to operate. Despite a staggering shot disadvantage, Lloydminster's goalie Riggins Tymchysyn faced a barrage, making 10 saves on 23 shots through the first two periods before Hayden Didyk took over in net.
The third period saw a brief spark from the home team. Evan Dufresne scored a shorthanded goal for Lloydminster to break the shutout bid of Surrey's stellar netminder Hayley Graham, who turned away all 25 shots she faced for a perfect save percentage. Deagan Robinson added a late power-play goal for the Athletics, assisted by Blake Lovberg and Max Andrews. However, the game's physical nature continued, with Liam Sydia receiving a major and a game misconduct for boarding. The Surrey Eagles comfortably saw out the remainder of the game, their early offensive explosion and rock-solid goaltending from Graham proving too much for Lloydminster to overcome.
