Penalty filled game produces a 5-1 loss for the Hurricanes
LETHBRIDGE — The Canes started their first home game in two weeks on a strong note against the Prince Albert Raiders, laying down the first goal at the half way point of the first period. Dylan Cozens fed the puck to Jordie Bellerive who spotted Taylor Ross in front of the Prince Albert net and it was a 1-0 game for the home team.
That’s where the score remained at the end of the frame, with the Canes’ leading in shots 21-9.
The next 20-minutes saw the Raiders even the score just six minutes in. What followed was a rapid succession of penalties, broken by the Raiders short-handed goal mid period.
Among the 24-minutes in penalties, the 13-minute mark produced two minutes for the Raiders’ Noah Gregor for unsportsmanlike conduct. Team-mate Justin Nachbaur pulled in a 10-mimute misconduct at the same time. The Canes also took their lumps with Calen Addison getting two minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct and Jake Elmer sent off with a game misconduct.
