Prince Albert Raiders overager Max Paddock has faced a lot of pucks in his day, but Thursday’s performance is a new one for him.
He pitched a 45-save shutout in a 2-0 win over the Moose Jaw Warriors, which is the most saves he’s made in a clean sheet. It always ties the most saves he’s had in a victory, after he had 45 saves against the Red Deer Rebels on Nov. 30, 2019, while still a member of the Regina Pats.
“It feels good obviously to get the shutout. We’ve been close a couple times these past couple games. That was just a great, overall effort from the guys in the third period to lock things down,” Paddock said. “That’s been the focus in the past few games, to really bear down in that third period and not give them anything. It was good to see that.”

After a disappointing 3-0 defeat to the Winnipeg ICE on Friday, Prince Albert Raiders head coach Marc Habscheid called out all of his veteran players and said he wanted to see a lot more from his experienced group of players.
Justin Nachbaur heard his coach loud and clear, as Nachbaur had a Gordie Howe hat trick in the first period to lead the Raiders (4-6-1-1) to a 4-2 win over the Swift Current Broncos (3-8-1). The win snaps a three-game losing streak.
Nachbaur got his assist on the Raiders’ first power play of the night, as his low shot was deflected off of Raider rookie Dallyn Peekeekoot and into the net for Peekeekoot’s first WHL career goal. Nachbaur then ripped home a point shot on a one-timer from Ozzy Wiesblatt for his goal. Then, Nachbaur capped off the ‘Gordie’ with a scrap with Broncos’ big man Kaleb Bulych, after Bulych hit Raider rookie Logan Linklater hard into the glass.

As the Prince Albert Raiders’ injury report continues to unfortunately fill up, they continue to rack up points anyway.
The Raiders have started the hub season in Regina with five points out of a possible six after their 5-3 victory against the Brandon Wheat Kings Tuesday.
Before the game, the Raiders announced their captain Kaiden Guhle will be “out indefinitely” with a hand injury.
During Tuesday’s game, Logan Danis left the game shortly after the first period. And overager Justin Nachbaur is day-to-day after suffering a lower-body injury in the season opener against the Regina Pats on Friday. That doesn’t even include the fact the Raiders couldn’t bring over Belarusians Aliaksei Protas, Ilya Usau (American dual citizen), and newly drafted Uladzislau Shyla.
