Raiders Burnt by Blazers
The Raiders stretch of bad luck continued on Friday the 13th, as they fell 4-2 to the Kamloops Blazers at the Art Hauser Centre.
The Blazers held a 1-0 lead after the first period before Mackenze Stewart captured a feat will not be matched very often, having his first career WHL goal send the teddy bears flying over the glass to the 13th annual Canadian Tire Teddy Bear Toss.
Kamloops took a two-goal lead into the final frame before Dakota Conroy converted a Leon Draisaitl feed to cut the lead in half.
The Raiders pressed, outshooting Kamloops 18-2 in the third period, but could not get the puck across the line before the Blazers hit the empty net.
Nick McBride stopped 24 of 27 shots faced in a losing cause.
