The Moose Jaw Warriors got back on track Tuesday with a dominating 7-0 Game 4 win over the Prince Albert Raiders at Mosaic Place.
After losing 7-3 the night before in Game 3, the Warriors came out flying in the first period and really took the attack to the Raiders.
Dryden Hunt scored a beautiful goal to open the scoring for the Warriors just 8:31 into the game. After a hard fore-check by Brayden Point, Hunt beat the Raiders’ defenceman to the net before he beat Rylan Parenteau.
The Warriors continued to push the pace and just 32 seconds later Josh Brook blasted home a rebound for his first WHL goal to make it 2-0. Only 36 seconds after that with the Warriors on the power play, Brett Howden and Noah Gregor finished off a give-and-go with Howden jamming home his 2nd of the playoffs.
Moose Jaw had just 12 shots through two periods on Monday, but they fired 15 shots on net in the first on Tuesday.
The Warriors didn’t let off the throttle in the second period, they continued to attack the Raiders zone with their speed and produced a number of scoring chances.
7:25 in to the period Dryden Hunt rifled in his second of the game to make it 4-0, that goal chased Raiders goalie Rylan Parenteau from the game, he allowed four goals on 21 shots. 17 seconds later Hunt’s first shot on backup goalie Ian Scott found the back of the net to make it 5-0.
In the third the Warriors added goals from Jesse Shynkaruk and Jayden Halbgewachs and cruised to the one-sided 7-0 win.
Dryden Hunt finished with three goals and four points, Jayden Halbgewachs, Josh Brook, and Brett Howden had a goal and two points each, Brayden Point and Noah Gregor had three assists each, Tanner Jeannot had two assists, and Zach Sawchenko made 26 saves for his first WHL playoff shutout.
