Melbourne Ice cruised to a 10-0 regulation win over Adelaide Adrenaline, burying the visitors with a four-goal first period that put the game out of reach early. The Ice never let up, adding two more in the second and four in the third to seal the emphatic shutout.
The opening frame set the tone, as Melbourne struck four times without response and took a 4-0 lead into the intermission. Adelaide found no traction after that, and the Ice extended the margin to 6-0 by the end of the second before pouring in four more goals in the final period to cap the 10-0 blowout.
The defining number was the scoreboard: a 10-goal outburst while holding Adelaide scoreless across all three periods. Melbourne's balanced attack and disciplined defensive structure left the Adrenaline with no answers, as the Ice finished with their most convincing result of the season.
