First Period


The opening period saw the Oilers take an early lead, scoring twice to set the tone for their dominance. The Jets struggled to find their rhythm offensively, managing only limited shots on goal. Despite their efforts, they were unable to capitalize on any opportunities.


Second Period


As play resumed in the second period, Edmonton continued to apply pressure. The Jets' defense was tested repeatedly as they tried to fend off relentless attacks from players like Josh Samanski and Noah Philp. Unfortunately for Winnipeg, another goal by Edmonton widened the gap further.

Third Period


Heading into the final period, hopes of a comeback dwindled as David Tomasek sealed Winnipeg's fate with another strike for Edmonton. The Jets' goaltender Domenic DiVincentiis made several key saves throughout but couldn't prevent all four goals against him.


Throughout this encounter, one notable aspect was how effectively Edmonton controlled faceoffs and maintained possession—key factors contributing significantly to their win over Winnipeg.
