Hurricanes fall 5-1 during last regular season home game
LETHBRIDGE – It wasn’t exactly the way the Lethbridge Hurricanes hoped to end their regular season at home.
They were routed 5-1 by the Medicine Hat Tiger, in front of a sold out crowd at the Enmax Centre. The Lethbridge boys couldn’t seem to find the back of the net on eight power play opportunities through 60-minutes of regulation play.
It was somewhat of a slow start Friday (Mar. 17) night, with the Tigers’ John Dahlstrom registering the game opening goal 12:52 into the first period. James Hamblin, assisted by Zach Fisher, had the game winner just minutes later.
The Hurricanes still couldn’t make up for what they had lost in the second frame. An insurance goal by Chad Butcher early on was answered by Ryan Bowen at the 7:33 mark, with Jordy Bellerive on the assist. Stuart Skinner let one last goal slip by at the half way point of the period.
