Raiders goaltender Nicholas Sanders was in goal for all three wins in the streak and was nothing short of spectacular. He has a save percentage of .943 during the streak, including stopping 30 of 32 shots Sunday against the Hitmen.

The Raiders will travel back to Prince Albert on a happy bus, but it appeared for a moment that former Raider Matteo Gennaro may have spoiled the party.

As the Raiders were attempting to hold on to a 2-1 lead, Gennaro tied the game for the Hitmen with 46 seconds left in regulation. That extended his goal scoring streak to six games, giving him a whopping 11 goals in that span.

Jordy Stallard continued his hot streak with the Raiders. He opened the scoring, extending his goal-scoring streak to four games—scoring four goals and seven points in that span.

‘Pesky’ Parker Kelly won the puck in the Hitmen zone, and flipped it to Stallard who put it in the top corner.

Stallard did leave the game after taking a stick to the face midway through the game.

Kolten Olynek scored the other goal for the Raiders. Jakub Stukel had the other marker for the Hitmen.

Captain Tim Vanstone returned to the Raiders lineup after a four-game absence to an upper body injury.

The Raiders have four days off before their third consecutive Friday-Saturday-Sunday stretch. They will hosting the Lethbridge Hurricanes and the Moose Jaw Warriors at the Art Hauser Centre, before heading to Speedy Creek to take on the Swift Current Broncos.
