Six points for Stallard as Raiders drop Tigers
Prince Albert Raiders head coach Marc Habscheid asked for more from his veterans ahead of Saturday’s game in Medicine Hat against the Tigers, and they delivered in a 6-1 victory.
Jordy Stallard led the way with a goal and five assists for six points, Parker Kelly scored twice, Max Martin and Zach Hayes each had a goal, while Cole Fonstad chipped in with three points in the win.
“It was a good answer by the team. The coaches were really honest today, and weren’t happy about last night…nobody was,” said Fonstad after the game. “We had a long talk today and kind of turned it around. I think everyone came in with a different attitude. More energy, more execution, and the outcome was there.”
Curtis Meger had his third straight start in net for the Raiders, stopping 25 of 26 shots for his third win of the season. In the absence of starting goaltender Ian Scott, Meger has run with the job and perfomed admirably for the Raiders, boasting the third best goals against average in the WHL at this point at 2.03.
