Prince Albert Raiders assistant coach Kelly Guard told the 900 CKBI post game show audience they weren’t ready to play from the opening face off and it showed.
The Calgary Hitmen jumped out to a 4-0 first period lead on their way to a 10-1 win.
Elliot Peterson walked off the boards and through the crease while the teams were playing 4-on-4, putting a shot in off Nick McBride, ending the night for the Raiders starting goalie 14:07 into the first period. He was pulled after giving up three goals on nine shots. The first shot Rylan Parenteau faced was a breakaway which he stopped, but Kenton Helgeson found the top corner just shy of the 15-minute mark, scoring his first of two on the night.
Adam Tambellini converted a cross-seam pass into the left wing face off circle on a Calgary power play just 0:38 into the second period to make it 5-0. He would add another goal and two assists. His second was off a back-door pass Tambellini made himself that deflected through the crease and back to him after Tambellini circled the net. Helgeson’s second goal banked in off Raiders defenceman Dalton Yorke after Parenteau made the save on Helgeson’s deflection as the Hitmen converted on just about every opportunity they had.
