Hurricanes comeback falls short in OT
LETHBRIDGE – The cold spell for the Lethbridge Hurricanes extended Friday night, Jan. 26, as the club dropped their fourth straight decision.
Fortunately, they did salvage a point by forcing overtime in a 3-2 loss at home to the Western Hockey League’s top team, the Moose Jaw Warriors.
After battling through a scoreless opening period, the Warriors struck twice in less than two minutes midway through the second – including one on the power play. With 15 seconds to go in the frame, the Hurricanes’ Keltie Jeri-Leon managed to find the back of the Warriors net to cut the lead to one.
The third saw Moose Jaw lock-down defensively, restricting Lethbridge to only two shots on goal through 19 minutes of play. A third shot would do it though. With time winding down and 26 seconds left on the clock, Jadon Joseph buried his sixth of the season to even the score 2-2 and send the game to OT.
