LETHBRIDGE – Friday night’s match against rival Medicine Hat provided a very physical first period for the Hurricanes, who were out-shot 17-8. The period ended with the Tigers ahead 1-0, courtesy of a goal from David Quenneville who beat Canes Goalie Stuart Skinner on the power-play.
The Hurricanes redeemed themselves in the second frame, as they pulled out 10-shots to the Tigers six. Half way through the period, Jordy Bellerive tied the score, assisted by Shaun Dosanjh and Ryley Lindgren. Just over a minute later, Brennan Riddle popped in his first WHL career goal, putting his team up 2-1. The period ended on that score.
The third period saw the Tigers up their shooting action, which saw Quenneville plant his second goal of the game at the half way mark and tie the score on a power play. However, the Canes fought back and five minutes later, Giorgio Estephan planted the game winner, assisted by Tyler Wong and Colton Kroeker.
With four minutes left in regulation, the match went to 4-on-4 after the Canes’ Jadon Joseph and Tiger Chad Butcher were called for unsportsmanlike conduct.
