Raiders’ Stallard with a Jaw dropping performance
The Moose Jaw Warriors came in to Saturday’s game against the Prince Albert Raiders as the second ranked team in the CHL. They added elite defenceman Kale Clague, were on an eight-game winning streak and came off an 8-2 victory over the Edmonton Oil Kings from the night before.
None of that mattered as the Raiders upset the Warriors 4-3.
Raiders assistant captain Jordy Stallard led the way for the Raiders, scoring twice and added an assist on Kody McDonald’s game winning goal in the third period.
What impressed Raiders head coach Marc Habscheid as much as Stallard’s point production was his heart he showed at the end of the game. As the Raiders were holding on to their 4-3 lead as the Warriors were pushing to tie the game, Kale Clague found himself at the high slot but Stallard dove in front to block the shot.
