Raiders powerplay runs wild in sixth straight win over Broncos
With the Prince Albert Raiders having won five straight games since before Christmas, the Raiders were also looking for their sixth straight win of the season over the visiting Swift Current Broncos. The Raiders were tested by the Broncos in this game, but the Raiders powerplay showed total dominance through the whole game to boost the Raiders to a 6-1 win.
The Broncos had some early chances that just missed the mark, but the Raiders took the first penalty of the game. On that penalty kill, the Raiders stopped everything the Broncos tried, and Aiden Oiring even stole the puck for a 2-on-1 that turned into a great feed from Oiring into a Brayden Dube breakaway chance. Suddenly, the Raiders had all the momentum.
The pressure built up until the Raiders got their first powerplay, and that’s when they opened the scoring. At 15:25, Daxon Rudolph opened the scoring to extend his point streak to 13 games. Brandon Gorzynski entered the zone through the right side wing, then found Aiden Oiring waiting at the left point. Oiring then found Daxon Rudolph sliding into the lane Gorzynksi had just opened up through the middle, and Rudolph fired under the bar for his team leading 18th of the year.
After 1: Raiders 1 – 0 Broncos, shots 11-6 Raiders
