Raiders pull one out of the fire against the ICE
The Prince Albert Raiders extended their point streak to nine games after 4-3 regulation win over the Kootenay ICE, but it was far from easy Wednesday at the Art Hauser Centre.
The Raiders controlled the play and led in shots 31-14, but only led 3-2 due to some opportunistic shots from the ICE.
In the third period, it was all ICE as they stormed back, got the tying goal from Alec Baer and had the Raiders on their heels for most of the final frame—outshooting them 9-3.
“In all honestly, we were schooled,” Raiders head coach Marc Habscheid said about the third period. “We tried to cheat on the play a little bit and play an easier way. Shifts got long and we tried a lot of hope passes, just did a lot of things out of character. In the end, we got the win but we have to learn from this. There are some things to clean up before the weekend.”
