First Period

The opening period set the tone for an intense matchup. Both teams managed to find the back of the net once, with Ottawa's Ridly Greig making his mark early. His goal was assisted by Dylan Cozens, showcasing their effective collaboration on ice. The Mammoth responded swiftly with a goal of their own, keeping the score level as they headed into intermission.

In this period, Ottawa took control of the game. Jordan Spence emerged as a pivotal player for the Sens, contributing both offensively and defensively. He scored one goal and provided an assist that helped push Ottawa ahead by two goals in this segment alone.

Third Period

The final period saw both teams intensifying their efforts but it was Leevi Merilainen’s performance in goal that stood out for Ottawa. With 29 saves throughout the match and maintaining composure under pressure from Utah’s offense in this closing segment, he ensured no further goals were conceded by his team.

Despite several attempts from Utah to close in on Ottawa's lead through aggressive plays and increased shots on target—31 overall—their efforts were thwarted by solid defensive strategies executed by players like Thomas Chabot and Jake Sanderson who blocked numerous attempts effectively.
