Hurricanes extend point streak to six games with win over Cougars
LETHBRIDGE – “We feel we’ve got the people in our dressing room to continue to compete and do well within our division, with lots of room for growth. Our kids are going to play down the stretch, and we feel we’ve still got strong goaltending.”
Turns out Lethbridge Hurricanes general manager Peter Anholt wasn’t just trying to boost the morale of his club, shortly after dealing away a handful of players – including their captain and No. 1 goaltender – at the WHL trade deadline, Jan. 10.
To this point, things really couldn’t be going better.
Friday night, Jan. 19, the Hurricanes beat up on the Prince George Cougars 6-2, giving them five wins in six games and points in six straight since they traded Giorgio Estephan, Stuart Skinner and Tanner Nagel to Swift Current in a blockbuster exchange.
