Raiders erase early deficit to come from behind in Brandon
Coming into Saturday’s action in Brandon, the Prince Albert Raiders had won three of their last four games including their last game over the Regina Pats in overtime. The Raiders fell behind early to the Wheat Kings, but battled back in a big third period to win 5-4 in overtime.
The Wheat Kings got started early at 4:24 when Nolan Flamand intercepted a pass through the middle of the ice. He sent the puck up the left wing for Marcus Nguyen on a partial breakaway, and he shot far side to open the scoring.
At the end of the period, the Wheat Kings scored again. At 17:50, the Wheat Kings won a faceoff in the neutral zone, and a d-to-d pass between Charlie Elick and Dylan Ronald opened a seam for Caleb Hadland. On a 2-on-1, Hadland down the left side shot far side again, beating Hildebrand to make it 2-0.
