In the second, Jack Kachkowski extended the Blades’ advantage at 12:35, set up by Cooper Williams and David Lewandowski, with what proved to be the game-winning goal. The Broncos showed some pushback when Trae Wilke scored shorthanded at 15:51 to cut the deficit to 2–1 heading into the third.
The Blades pulled away in the final frame as David Lewandowski restored the two-goal cushion at 10:07, assisted by Tyrone Sobry and Jordan Martin. Hunter Laing added his second of the afternoon on another Saskatoon power play at 14:49 to seal the 4–1 final.
