Hurricanes double up Swift Current for first pre-season win
The Lethbridge Hurricanes final home game of the pre-season was a good one, a 6-3 win over the Swift Current Broncos. It was the Hurricanes first victory of the exhibition season. Lethbridge was without some notable names, as Stuart Skinner, Brennan Menell, Giorgio Estephan and Jordy Bellerive were all attending NHL training camps.
Tanner Nagel opened the scoring for the Hurricanes early in the first period, and Egor Zudilov made it 2-0 with just under five minutes to go in the first.
The Broncos cut the lead in half late when Owen Blocker poked a rebound past goaltender Adam Swan with 1:52 to go in the period.
Brendan Stafford restored the two-goal lead just 1:25 into the second period, and the Hurricanes kept it rolling later in the period when Nagel put home his second of the game making it 4-1 for Lethbridge after two periods.
