Dust Yourself Off
Lethbridge, AB – The Lethbridge Hurricanes will look for some payback tonight from the ENMAX Centre in Lethbridge in the second game of a home, home and home mini series with the Swift Current Broncos. Last night, the Broncos held on to ice a 4-2 win in Speedy Creek as Mitch Maxwell and Austin Fyten scored for Lethbridge in a losing cause. Lethbridge local Dylan Tait had a solid game in goal for Lethbridge making 44 saves on the night and allowing three goals. For Maxwell, the goal adds to his team leading 19 points (8G,11A) while Fyten remains on his hot streak – since being returned from injury last week the veteran has four points (3G,1A) in as many games for a total of 12 points (9G,3A) and a very impressive nine goals in just nine games this season.
The loss dropped the Hurricanes overall record to 11-10-1-3 on the season. This odd group of three games will see Lethbridge return to Speedy Creek on Wednesday and will make up three of the four meetings between these clubs this season, with the fourth and final matchup coming on January 1st in Lethbridge. In 09-10, the Canes posted a 2-2-0-0 record against the Broncos.
