Hurricanes rout Tigers 8-3 with six goal third period
LETHBRIDGE – With 40 minutes played Saturday night, Oct. 20 at home to the Medicine Hat Tigers, things were not looking good for the Lethbridge Hurricanes. Not good at all.
After giving up a 2-0 lead built in the first period with goals from Ty Kolle and Nolan Jones, the Hurricanes fell behind 3-2 with 27 seconds left in the second. This came just one day after Lethbridge let a 3-1 lead slip away in Medicine Hat with less than two minutes remaining in regulation, before losing to those very same Tigers in overtime. Adding to that Saturday, the Hurricanes were also getting outshot 30-20 through two periods. Again, not looking good.
But then the third started.
Dylan Cozens evened the score 3-3 one minute in, which opened the flood gates. Over the next 8:36, Zachary Cox, Jadon Joseph, Logan Barlage, and Jordy Bellerive would also find the back of the net for the Hurricanes. Taylor Ross would add the sixth Lethbridge goal of the period with four minutes left in the game to cap an impressive 8-3 win.
