Jan 15, 2011 | 9:29 PM

The Prince Albert Raiders fell to the Moose Jaw Warriors 7-2 at the AHC on Saturday to split the home and home series with the Warriors.

The Raiders struggled early on and found themselves down 4-0 six minutes into the game.

Starting goaltender Eric Williams was replaced with Jamie Tucker after allowing two goals in on as many shots.

The Raiders got on the board at 13:41 of the first, on the power play after James Bettauer stepped into a slap shot that beat a screened Thomas Heemskirk.

The Warriors would add another before the period was over to take a 5-1 lead into the second. In the middle frame it was the Warriors striking again, this time on the power play to take a 6-1 lead into the third.

The Warriors extended their lead to 7-1 before the Raiders would strike again. Igor Revenko broke on the Warrior zone and side stepped the Warrior defender and put a back hand shot past Heemskirk, making it a 7-2 Warrior final.

The Raiders welcome the Regina Pats to the AHC on Tuesday and the Calgary Hitmen on Friday.
