In a game that was defined by relentless offensive pressure, HC Edmonton skated to a decisive 7-3 victory over Victoria HA. The story of the game was written in the shot totals, with Edmonton firing an astounding 62 shots on goal compared to Victoria's 13. Edmonton set the tone early, outshooting Victoria 22-3 in the first period and capitalizing on two power-play opportunities. Carmine Chanak opened the scoring midway through the period, followed by Logan Ko, who gave Edmonton a 2-0 lead heading into the intermission. Victoria's penalty kill was under constant siege, taking three minors in the opening frame, while Edmonton's Parker Garlitos also took a check from behind penalty.
The second period saw Edmonton extend their lead with even-strength goals from Parker Leonhardt and Parker Garlitos, whose marker stood as the game-winner. Victoria managed to break through in the final seconds of the period, as Randy (RJ) Mattin scored off a feed from Jayce Ward to give the home team a glimmer of hope heading into the third. However, any momentum was quickly stifled by Edmonton's continued offensive onslaught. The third period became a back-and-forth affair, with Victoria's Niko Stamatakis scoring twice to complete a personal effort, but Edmonton answered every time. Grayson Monea, Parker Leonhardt with his second of the game, and Grayson Moulds on the power play sealed the dominant road win for Edmonton.
Despite the lopsided score, Victoria's Hunter Villecourt faced an incredible workload in net, seeing 62 shots. At the other end, Edmonton's Shaheya Morin earned the win with a quiet night, facing only 13 shots. The game grew increasingly chippy as it progressed, with Victoria's Jhett Gervais receiving a misconduct penalty for an illegal check to the head in the third period. In the end, HC Edmonton's overwhelming offensive pressure and efficient special teams proved too much for Victoria HA to handle.
