LETHBRIDGE: In spite of being out-shot 35-29 by Edmonton, the Hurricanes racked-up eight goals to the Oil Kings tally of four at the Enmax Saturday night.
Although Edmonton opened the scoring, half of the Canes goals were up on the scoreboard during the first 20 minutes, providing the home team with a 4-1 advantage. Cory Millette and Tyler Wong slapped the first two Canes’ goals through the pipes within 30 seconds of each other. Ryley Lindgren and Jordy Bellerive followed up with one goal each before the end of the first.
Edmonton’s Brandon Baddock opened scoring in the second period on a power play, after Jordy Bellerive was penalized for four minutes on a high-sticking double-minor. His teammates, Brayden Burke an Andrew Nielsen each added their own power play goals later in the period.
The Canes began the 3rd period with the man advantage, as the Oil Kings Brandon Baddock was benched for unsportsmanlike conduct at the end of the 2nd. Jordy Bellerive took advantage of a power play at 13:01 to tally his second goal of the game for Lethbridge, assisted by Drayton Thunder Chief and Kord Pankewicz.
