Hurricanes lose fifth in a row to open three game road trip
SEATTLE – The fall down the standings continued for the Lethbridge Hurricanes Friday night (Nov. 18) in Seattle, as they dropped their fifth straight decision, losing 4-3 to the Thunderbirds.
Hurricanes netminder Stuart Skinner was acknowledged as the third star of the game, keeping his club in the contest, despite being badly outshot 39-21.
Just 1:35 into the game, Alexander True scored his first of three goals. While the Hurricanes would tie things up later in the first, Seattle responded just 21 seconds later to retake the lead. That would be repeated in the third period, as Jordy Bellerive scored 1:46 into the final frame, only to see True complete the hat-trick with the game winner just over a minute later.
The failure to win on the road is becoming part of a trend 21 games into the season, as the Canes hold an unenviable 2-6-0-2 record away from the Enmax Centre and 5-5-1-0 when on home ice.
