Before the game, it became known to fans that the trade requested by Hurricane players Jaimen Yakubowski ('94) and Sam Mckechnie ('94) had been made.  Both players to Seattle for left wing forwards Riley Sheen ('94), Carter Folk ('96), and a third round pick in 2015 Bantam draft.

Along with the tremendously poor start to the season, this continues to be the season of unanswered play by the Lethbridge Hurricanes.  Similar to the home game against the Saskatoon Blades, where the Canes scored seven times before allowing the Blades to answer with five unanswered, this game featured three goals by the Canes then four by the visiting Moose Jaw Warriors.

The Hurricanes and the Warriors exchanged scoring opportunities in the first and second periods.  The Canes made the best of theirs and enjoyed a 3-0 lead through forty minutes with shots "even" at 19-20.

The visiting team that was supposed to be "so tired and weary" from their previous night's game and overnight travel absolutely dominated the third period play in shots and in scoring.  A powerplay goal scored in the first minute of the third while Cane forward Axel Blomqvist was serving time for his laziness during a late second period Hurricane powerplay started off the comeback.   Another powerplay goal during a Kade Jensen hooking penalty would make it 3-2 and easily within reach.  Watching the play, it was obvious it was just a matter of time, and as a matter of fact, they scored again with about four and one-half minutes left in the third for a 3-3 score.

The Canes would hold on for a point, but lose in overtime when Moose Jaw's leading point man and defender, Travis Brown, would intercept a Reid Duke clearing attempt to bend the twine for the Jaw's fourth unanswered of the game, and Brown's second of the game.

I have always looked forward to watching Reid Duke play.  He looked particularly frustrated in this game; in the systems, his role, and especially and naturally after his give away that resulted in the Moose Jaw game winning goal.  I wonder how long until his agent and family requests a trade?
