Moose Jaw opened the scoring at 3:17 of the first period, but the Hawks responded as Carter Sotheran skated in and ripped a shot glove-side to tie the game. Portland claimed the lead five minutes later when Kayd Ruedig unleashed a wicked shot from the left dot that snuck under the goalie's arm and trickled across the goal line.

The Warriors evened things up early in the second period, but the Hawks answered back with authority. Alex Weiermair regained the lead at 9:46, firing a wrister from the right circle off a slick pass from Jordan Duguay. Less than a minute later, Kyle McDonough extended the lead with a long-range shot from off the wall that snuck by the goaltender.

Hudson Darby sealed the deal in the third period, slamming home his sixth goal of the season at the top of the crease off a feed from Tyson Jugnauth. Portland's 5-2 lead held strong as they closed out the game in dominant fashion.
