2015-16; A Raider retrospective
The 2015-16 Prince Albert Raiders experienced more than their fair share of peaks and valleys on that wild pendulum packed ride that produced many memories.
Highlights included improvements of seven wins and 18 points from the regular season before and ending a 12-game playoff winless streak with a 7-3 victory in game three over the Moose Jaw Warriors.
However the Warriors potent power play anchored by Brayden Point, Dryden Hunt and Brett Howden proved to be the difference as Moose Jaw prevailed in a five game first round playoff series.
Throw in the goaltending of Zach Sawchenko who posted two straight shutouts to help clinch the series and the Warriors will give the Wheat Kings all they can handle in the second round, assuming Brandon wins either games six or seven at home against the Edmonton Oil Kings.
