Hurricanes take first round in 5 games, with 6-4 decision over the Rebels
LETHBRIDGE – The fifth game in the Canes versus Rebels playoff series was heavy on action and saw a penalty-filled first period.
The Canes had the first penalty of the night, with Matthew Stanley cited for cross-checking, just three minutes in. But, the home team also planted the first goal of the night at 7:09, courtesy of Brad Morrison.
It didn’t take Red Deer long to respond, as a minute and a half later, Grayson Pawlenchuk tied the game 1-1.
Add 30 seconds to the penalty riddled period and the whistle blew on a major interference call and game misconduct against the Canes’ Zane Franklin. The five-minute major was served by Keltie Jeri-Leon.
