The Titans set the tone early and never looked back, cruising to a decisive 7-3 victory over the Pink Panthers. The home team's offense was relentless from the opening puck drop, with Davis Jickling leading the charge. Jickling opened the scoring midway through the first period and completed a natural hat trick by the second period, with Gavin Bremner assisting on two of those goals. The Titans' first-period onslaught also featured a goal from Felix He, assisted by Lukas Peacock, giving them a commanding 3-0 lead before the Panthers could respond. The Panthers' Eric Upshall managed to break through late in the first, converting a setup from Zekrya Akbari and Hudson Zalloni, but the Titans quickly reasserted control. Emmett Kickham added another for the Titans in the second period, sending the teams to the intermission with a 5-1 score.
The Pink Panthers showed some fight in the third period, capitalizing on a power play opportunity after a tripping penalty to the Titans' Cruz Redmond. Caleb Girard buried the chance, with assists from Cohen Williams and Hudson Zalloni, to cut into the lead. However, the Titans' depth proved too much as Rees Carreiro answered with an even-strength goal, assisted by Elton Schwartz and Jin Cheung. The Panthers' Upshall netted his second of the game on another power play, with Girard and Zalloni returning the favor, but it was too little, too late. The Titans sealed the deal in the final minutes when Gavin Bremner, who had been setting up goals all night, finally found the back of the net himself, with Davis Jickling and Cason Jickling earning the assists on the play that made it 7-3.
In net, the Titans' Elijah Suapengco earned the win, turning aside all 17 shots he faced for a perfect shutout performance, a key factor in stifling any sustained Panther comeback. For the Panthers, Vincent Chabot faced a barrage of 35 shots in a tough-luck loss. The story of the game was the Titans' explosive and balanced offense, led by Davis Jickling's three-goal night and Gavin Bremner's three-point performance (1 goal, 2 assists), while the Panthers' Hudson Zalloni was a bright spot with three assists in the losing effort.
