The Prince Albert Raiders gave the hottest team in the WHL everything they could handle, but still couldn’t come away with the two points.
The Brandon Wheat Kings won 3-2 for their seventh straight victory, the longest current streak in the WHL, to sit on top of the WHL East Division standings with a 10-2-1 record. The Raiders (4-7-1-1) were not behind in the game until Ridly Greig scored a shorthanded goal midway through the third period.
“We deserved to win the game. We should have won the game,” Raiders head coach Marc Habscheid said. “I thought our kids played great, they played hard. We deserved to win the game.”
