The Ottawa Senators U22 Elite team staged a commanding comeback to defeat the Ottawa 67s by a 5-2 score in a spirited local rivalry game. The 67s struck first, with Vanessa Sciampacone opening the scoring midway through the first period, assisted by Norah Nyaba. The Senators responded on the power play late in the second period, as Charlotte Wheeler found the back of the net with help from Olivia Wallace to tie the game. However, the 67s quickly regained the lead when Sciampacone scored her second of the game to make it 2-1. The game was a physical affair, with the Senators taking three minor penalties in the second period alone, including head contact calls to Lexie Hatoum and Naomi Chambers, while the 67s saw Quinn Toll penalized twice.
The final frame belonged entirely to the Senators, who erupted for four unanswered goals to seal the victory. Chloë Martineau kickstarted the rally early in the third, tying the game with an assist from Olivia Wallace. The momentum fully shifted when Avery Wojtyk netted the game-winning goal midway through the period. Martineau then added her second of the night, a power-play marker assisted by Ella Fridgen and Charlize Danks, to extend the lead. Brooke Glynn capped off the offensive outburst with an empty-net goal in the final minutes to secure the 5-2 final.
Despite the 67s' early lead and a two-goal performance from Vanessa Sciampacone, the Senators' depth and special teams proved decisive. Olivia Wallace was a playmaking force, registering two assists, while Chloë Martineau's pair of goals, including a crucial power-play tally, led the offensive charge. The Senators' penalty kill weathered a challenging second period, and their power play capitalized on key opportunities, ultimately overwhelming the 67s in a dominant third-period display to claim the victory.
