Wednesday’s game was the third time in the past eight days these two teams have met and the Raiders 4th win of their past five games.

The Raiders wasted little time getting up on the Wheat Kings and scored 3:54 into the game on the power play. James Bettauer fed a cross ice pass to Jonathan Parker who had positioned himself at the bottom of the right faceoff circle. Parker one timed the pass past goaltender Corbin Boes to get the 1-0 lead.

Andrew Herle would extend the lead to just two minutes later. Herle broke into the Wheat King zone and his initial shot was blocked by the Wheat King defender. He quickly grabbed the loose puck and snapped a shot past the out of position Boes.

The Raiders continued their first period dominance when at 13:09 of the frame, Igor Revenko found Brandon Herrod all alone in front with a back hand pass from the corner that Herrod one timed past Boes making it a 3-0 hockey game.

Jonathan Parker added his second of the game before the period was done to make it 4-0 heading into the second.
