The game took place at Haynes Pavilion on 7th February 2026. Despite the Pokes taking more shots at the goal, the Bobcats proved that quality trumps quantity, with a significant lead in goals scored.

The Pokes made a total of 55 shots, while the Bobcats had 35 shots. Both teams struggled with their powerplays, with the Pokes going 0/3 and the Bobcats slightly worse at 0/4. However, the Bobcats’ goalie, Reese McConnell, put up an impressive performance, saving 54 out of 55 shots. On the Pokes’ side, goalie Pudgie Sabinash saved 31 out of 35 shots.
