The Swift Current Broncos handled the Vancouver Giants 5-1 in regulation, scoring in all three periods and never trailing after the opening frame. The Giants' lone goal came in the first and nothing followed over the final 40 minutes.
Vancouver got on the board in the first, but Swift Current answered twice to lead 2-1 after 20 minutes. A single goal in the middle period pushed it to 3-1, and the Broncos closed with a two-goal third to settle it at 5-1.
The telling number is the shutout after the first intermission: Swift Current outscored Vancouver 3-0 across the second and third periods, and the Giants were held without a goal following their early marker.
