LETHBRIDGE – The Hurricanes put a halt to a New Year two game losing skid with a 7-4 home win over Edmonton Friday night.
The Canes’ Egor Babenko opened the scoring at 1:45 into the first frame, with the Oil Kings’ Davis Koch taking advantage of a powerplay less than a minute and a half later to tie the game. The one all score was where the first period ended but, not before the Canes Jordy Bellerive and the Oilers Davis Murray each earned a five minute major for fighting.
The 2nd period opened with the Canes on a powerplay, after Edmonton was assessed a delay of game penalty at the end of the first. Brett Davis took advantage of the opportunity, putting the Canes ahead 2-1.
However, the wheels came off the bus minutes later as Edmonton hammered in two more goals in rapid succession. The action prompted the Canes to change out goalie Ryan Gilchrist, who had allowed four goals on 14 shots. Unfortunately, less than a minute after goalie Stuart Skinner was brought in, the Oil Kings struck again.
