The Raiders dominated the first 15 minutes of the game and were rewarded with a 2-0 lead. Austin Glover cleaned up a rebound to put the Raiders ahead 1-0 five minutes into the first, assisted by his linemates Reid Gardiner and Simon Stransky. Three and a half minutes later, Reid Gardiner scored his sixth goal after Glover won a battle in the corner.

The top line of the Raiders are off to a smoking hot start, as they have now combined for 31 points between them through six games.

But just about the rest of the game was played in the Raiders’ zone. In the final 45 minutes, the Thunderbirds outshot the Raiders 31-10 including a 12-3 discrepancy in the third period.

Mathew Barzal scored on the power play for the Thunderbirds late in the first as the home team gained some momentum heading into the second. It was Barzal’s first game of the season after spending the start of the year with the New York Islanders, who drafted him in the first round of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.

Keegan Kolesar tied the game in the third period, the second Thunderbirds goal with the man-advantage.

The Raiders will be in Everett to face the Silvertips on Sunday for their second game of their American road trip.
