Hurricanes edged by Silvertips, despite special teams dominance
LETHBRIDGE – The Lethbridge Hurricanes uneven start to the 2017-18 season continued Friday night (Oct. 13), as they fell 4-3 to the Everett Silvertips for a second straight loss.
The home club fell behind early, surrendering the first goal of the game just 59-seconds in as Bryce Kindopp found the back of the net. The Silvertips Riley Sutter then made it 2-0 with just over a minute remaining in the opening period.
The second was a much different story, thanks to the Lethbridge’s league best power play, which now stands at 37.9-per cent after going 3/5 against Everett.
Jordy Bellerive got things started for the Hurricanes, scoring his second of the season on the man advantage, with assists going to Ryan Vandervlis and Giorgio Estephan. With five minutes left in the period, Dylan Cozens evened the score – again on the power play – with Bellerive then putting his team ahead 3-2 with his second of the night while up a man.
