A tough loss for the Drayton Valley Thunder Tuesday night, as they lost to the visiting Sherwood Park Crusaders 4 – 3.
The Thunder led the scoring, with Daniel Kernaghan getting the assist from Hunter Price and Grayson Reid for the first goal of the game. But the Crusaders responded in kind, with Mitchell Joss getting the assist from Logan Hauer to tie the game 1-1 by the end of the first period.
The Crusaders got things rolling in the second period, with Logan Hauer getting the assist from Carmelo Crandell and Tyler Miller to go up 2-1. However, the Thunder fought back, when Dylan Price scored, thanks to an assist from Kadyn Chabot to end the second period in a 2-2 tie.
The Crusaders opened scoring in the third period though, when Austin Cook got the assist from Josh Rule and Bruce MacGregor, just a minute and 33 seconds into the third period. Then, with 35 seconds remaining in the period, the Thunder’s Dylan Price lit the lamp again, thanks to assists from Ty Whitford and Brett Bamber to tie the game and push it into overtime.
Sadly, however, the Crusaders scored 43 seconds into overtime for the 4-3 win. The winning goal was scored by Mitchell Joss with an assist from Tyler Bates and Logan Hauer.
The Thunder are back in action Friday night when the Fort McMurray Oil Barons come to Drayton for a two game series. These games were originally slated to take place in Fort McMurray, but have been moved to Drayton Valley.
