The Calgary Stallions put on a dominant offensive display, cruising to a 6-2 victory over the Victoria HA in a game that saw momentum shift decisively after a tight first period. The home team came out strong, with Noah Arsenault (#5) opening the scoring for Victoria at the 13:41 mark of the first, assisted by Jacob Heinonen (#64). The lead was short-lived, however, as Victoria's Reggie Lott (#19), with help from Linden Wilson (#12), answered back just over two minutes later to make it 2-0. The early two-goal cushion seemed promising for Victoria, but it was all Calgary from there. The Stallions began their relentless comeback when Cody Callison (#12) found the net, assisted by Mac Carr (#91) and Elliott Wilson (#4). A power play opportunity, created by a goalie interference penalty on Heinonen, allowed Wilson (#4) to capitalize and tie the game before the first intermission, with assists from Callison and Lucas Derdall (#9).
The second period was defined by penalties and a pivotal go-ahead goal. The Stallions weathered a series of minor infractions, including an interference call on Carr and a check from behind on Wilson, but their penalty kill held firm. The game's turning point came at 7:32 of the middle frame when Tripp Gillespie (#88) scored what would stand as the game-winning goal, giving Calgary a lead they would never relinquish. The period grew increasingly chippy, highlighted by a sequence where Victoria's Wyatt Carnie (#17) took a boarding minor and an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty simultaneously, showcasing the rising frustration on the home bench.
Calgary sealed the victory with a commanding third-period performance, netting three unanswered goals to put the game out of reach. Greg Milne (#87) started the onslaught early, assisted by Brady Baun (#21). Cade Bouchard (#71) then added another, with helpers from Nash Dawes (#76) and the ever-involved Gillespie. Jakob Pugliese (#7) capped off the scoring to complete the 6-2 rout. While Victoria's goalies Caleb O'Gorman (#35) and Alex Dorrell (#1) faced a barrage of shots, Calgary's Matthew Tucker (#30) was credited with the win in net, backstopping his team to a decisive road victory built on a potent offense that exploded for five straight goals after falling behind early.
