The Calgary Glaciers delivered a commanding performance from start to finish, blanking the Manitoba Mavericks 6-0 in a game defined by relentless offensive pressure and a flawless defensive effort. The tone was set early when Calgary's Jewels Kerr, assisted by Maci Dueck, found the back of the net just over seven minutes into the first period for what would stand as the game-winning goal. The Mavericks, struggling to generate consistent offense with only 11 total shots, found themselves on their heels for much of the contest. The game truly slipped away in a disastrous second period for Manitoba, where the Glaciers unleashed a 17-shot barrage and capitalized on their opportunities, scoring three times to break the game wide open.
Calgary's power play was particularly lethal, striking twice in quick succession late in the second period. Ellie Meunier and Maci Dueck both converted with the man advantage, with Dueck's goal coming just 42 seconds after Meunier's. Lilly Redmond added an even-strength marker to make it 4-0 heading into the final frame. The third period saw more of the same, as Molli Radford and Abigail Mills padded the lead with goals just 38 seconds apart, completing the rout. The Glaciers' offensive depth was on full display, with Abigail Mills, Lily Bennett, and Peyton Krueger each recording multiple assists to fuel the attack.
In net, Calgary's Alexandra Seminuk was perfect, turning aside all 11 shots she faced to earn a well-deserved shutout. For the Mavericks, it was a long night for goaltenders Jordan Brewer and Evangeline Golding, who combined to face a staggering 60 shots. The game was also marred by a physical edge, with both teams combining for 10 penalties. Manitoba's Hudsen Stasynec received a major for boarding in the first period, while Calgary's Greta Baldwin and Molli Radford each took multiple minors. In the end, the Glaciers' disciplined execution and overwhelming firepower proved far too much for the Mavericks to handle, securing a decisive road victory.
