Hurricanes drop third in a row

Dec 28, 2016 | 5:56 AM

CRANBROOK –  An 11-day Christmas break may have been too much for the Lethbridge Hurricanes, who were dealt a 6-4 loss by the Kootenay Ice on Tuesday night.  The outcome came despite the Hurricanes out-shooting the Ice 34-27.

The Canes entered the game sitting second in the Central Division at 18-12-3-2.  However, the Ice were first on the scoreboard just after the seven minute mark. A minute and a half later, Zak Zborosky had his team up 2-0.  The Canes Brett Davis had a goal for his team before the end of the period.

The second period saw a flurry of action as the Ice lobbed in four goals, including one just 28 seconds into the frame.  Although Zane Franklin brought the Canes up 3-2, the Ice had a trio of goals in succession to their team up 6-2.

Before the end of the second period, Tyler Wong added to the Canes goals, with his 22nd of the season and brought the score to 6-3. Wong also added the final goal in the third, to end the game at 6-4 for the Ice.

Notable in the game was a hat tick for Kootenay’s Zak Zborosky.
