Hurricanes ride red-hot powerplay to game one win over Wheat Kings
LETHBRIDGE – “Ever since he’s come he’s got better and better. The regular season he played great, but you’re right, he’s found another level, and that’s what you need to have success in playoffs.”
Lethbridge Hurricanes head coach Brent Kisio was answering a question about Taylor Ross, but you could certainly be forgiven for thinking he was talking about someone like Brad Morrison or Logan Flodell.
All three mid-season acquisitions played key roles in helping the Hurricanes take a 1-0 series lead over the Brandon Wheat Kings in the WHL’s Eastern Conference semi-final Friday, April 6, with a dominant 5-1 win on home ice.
Ross – who now has seven goals and 11 points through six playoff games – opened the scoring while shorthanded at 6:23 of the first period, converting on a nice feed from Jadon Joseph.
