LETHBRIDGE, AB – The Lethbridge Hurricanes extended their winning streak to three games with a 2-1 victory over the Saskatoon Blades on Wednesday, December 11, 2024.
The Hurricanes came into the game a bit shorthanded, as Brayden Yager, Leo Braillard and Vojtech Port have all left the team to attend World Junior selection camps. Yager is at the Canadian camp, while Braillard and Port will represent Switzerland and Czechia, respectively.
In the opening period of the game, neither team managed a goal, but Lethbridge had the advantage on the shot sheet, outshooting the Blades 14-8. Both teams had powerplay opportunities, with the Hurricanes having two, but neither capitalized in the frame.
In the second period, the scoreless contest was finally broken open 4:36 in. With the Hurricanes down a man after a tripping penalty to Brayden Edwards, Logan Wormald fired the puck on net from center ice, rebounding off Blades goaltender Ethan McCallum. Miguel Marques then flew past the defencemen, grabbing the rebound and firing it past McCallum for his 11th goal of the season. Carsen Adair added the second assist on the goal.
