HC Ajoie cruised to a 1-5 regulation win over Rouen Dragons, seizing control with a two-goal opening period and never surrendering the lead. The road side's early efficiency set the tone for a comfortable friendly result.
Ajoie struck twice in the first period to take a 0-2 lead, then traded goals with Rouen in the middle frame to make it 1-3. A two-goal third period sealed the margin, with the home side unable to put together a sustained push.
The game hinged on Ajoie's balanced scoring — two goals in the first, one in the second, and two more in the third — while Rouen could only muster a single tally. The two-goal first-period burst proved the decisive gap in a one-sided contest.
