Post-Game Report presented by McDonald’s Canada | Hughes Earns Shut Out and ICE Blank Wheat Kings 4-0.

After the teams traded turns on the man-advantage it was the ICE who struck first just as their penalty was expiring.  Peyton Krebs chipped the puck out of the zone and Connor McClennon chased it down for a breakaway and deposited the puck into the back of the net to give the ICE a 1-0 lead.  The 1-0 lead would hold up taking the ICE into the second period up a goal.

The second period saw some end to end action with both goaltenders doing their part to keep the game at 1-0 heading into the third.

It didn’t take long for the ICE to make it a two goal lead in the third.  Just 1:22 into the period, Peyton Krebs was sprung on a breakaway by Nolan Orzeck to make the ICE lead 2-0.  Just over 10 minutes later, Isaac Johnson was the recipient of a great pass from Jackson Leppard which left him all alone in front of the Wheat Kings net where he extended the ICE lead to 3-0.  Isaac Johnson put the icing on the cake with his second of the night with just under two minutes remaining.

Liam Hughes earns his first career WHL shut out as he stopped all 28 shots he faced in the win.
