The London Devilettes delivered a commanding performance on the road, blanking the Windsor Southwest Wildcats 4-0 in a game they controlled from start to finish. The story of the night was London's relentless offensive pressure, outshooting the Wildcats 47 to 23. While the goalie stats show all zeroes, the final score and shot totals paint a clear picture: London's netminder, Emma Kloosterman, was a perfect wall, turning aside every one of Windsor's 23 shots to earn a shutout victory. For the Wildcats, Paige Oliver faced a barrage of 47 shots and made 43 saves, but the London attack proved too much to handle.
The game remained scoreless through a first period that saw London fire 17 shots, but the floodgates opened in the second. In a stunning 12-second span, the Devilettes struck twice to break the game open. First, Emma Boere found the net with assists from Katherine Cameron and Kennedy Brooks at the 19:22 mark. Immediately after the ensuing faceoff, Emma Bovin made it 2-0, converting a setup from Julia McIntosh and Emerson Moore with just 19:10 on the clock. Grace Gow extended the lead later in the period, assisted again by the playmaking of Emerson Moore, to give London a formidable 3-0 lead heading into the final frame.
The third period saw more of the same, with Tessa Burdett adding a fourth goal for London, assisted by Ella McCallum. The physicality picked up as the game wore on, with both teams taking penalties in the final minutes, including matching roughing minors to Windsor's Lea Giroux and London's Ella McCallum. Despite a late interference penalty to London's Leah Milligan and a roughing call on Julia McIntosh, the Wildcats' power play, which also had an earlier chance from an interference penalty on Alexis Slota, could not solve Kloosterman. The London Devilettes skated away with a comprehensive 4-0 win, their defensive discipline and offensive firepower on full display in a decisive shutout performance.
