PRINCE ALBERT, SK – Bryan Thomson was perfect between the pipes on Friday night, stopping all 31 shots he faced to help the Lethbridge Hurricanes over the Prince Albert Raiders 3-0 at the Art Hauser Centre.

The loss comes three days after defeating the Red Deer Rebels 5-2 on home ice.

“We didn’t compete hard enough,” said Raiders head coach Jeff Truitt. “I thought that we were light on pucks, I thought that we didn’t hustle to checks, I thought that we didn’t get to the front of the net enough. I thought that we were pretty light out there tonight. The overall compete and hardness is what we were missing here tonight.”

Tyson Laventure, Brayden Edwards, and Tyson Zimmer were the lamp lighters for Lethbridge while Joe Arntsen had a pair of assists and Logan Wormald had one helper.

Max Hildebrand had the start for the Raiders where he made 27 saves as PA falls to 25-30-3-0 on the campaign.

COMPLETE BOX SCORE

The scoreboard still showed zeros on the board for either team so to the second we go where the Hurricanes got on the board first. Former Raider Laventure broke the scoreless tie midway through the frame to reach the 20 goal plateau.

Later in the period, a scrum for the puck ensued off the draw in the Prince Albert zone and landed on the stick of Lethbridge’s Edwards. He quickly turned and fired the puck at the Raider net which beat Hildebrand five-hole to give the Hurricanes a 2-0 lead going into the third.

Zimmer added another for Lethbridge in the final frame to give the Hurricanes the 3-0 shut out win.

The Raiders are back on the ice in less than 24 hours now when they head south to Moose Jaw for a date with the Warriors. Puck drop is at 7pm.
