The Walruses stormed into Ninjas territory and skated away with a convincing 4-2 victory, powered by a dominant first period and a relentless third-period surge that left the home team scrambling. Ahmed Abraar, playing as an AP call-up, made an immediate impact by opening the scoring at 9:40 of the first period, with Arjun Atwal and Jessy Virdee collecting the assists. The Walruses doubled their lead just under three minutes later when Asher Adnan found the back of the net, with Sean Le and Abraar setting the table. The Ninjas refused to fold quietly, as Bradley Gallo, wearing #7, cut the lead in half at 4:49 with help from Brandon Gallo, sending the teams to the intermission with the score at 2-1.
The middle frame saw both teams trade chances but no goals, with the Ninjas actually outshooting the Walruses 13-9 in the period. A slashing penalty to Jessy Virdee at 2:37 gave the home side a golden opportunity, but the Walruses' penalty kill held firm. The turning point came in the third period, when Ethan Dunnett took over the game. Dunnett scored twice in a span of less than three minutes, first at 10:09 and again at 7:18, both times with Abraar and Virdee providing the assists, stretching the lead to 4-1 and effectively putting the game out of reach. Ryese Richards scored a late consolation goal for the Ninjas at 2:02, with Dylan Leslie and Evan Arnold earning assists, but it was too little, too late.
In net, Daniel Allin earned the win with a puzzling stat line showing 30 shots against and no saves officially recorded, but the Walruses' defensive structure kept the Ninjas at bay after the early strike. For the Ninjas, Dan Bosch faced 30 shots but allowed four goals in 37 minutes of work, while Team Ninjas' goaltender stopped all 30 shots faced in just one minute of mop-up duty. The Walruses' balanced attack, led by Abraar's three-point night and Dunnett's two goals, proved too much for the home side, who fell to their second consecutive loss.
