<div align="center">1-4</div>

Tonight's event was a thrill ride of a game. The teams opened it up with a minor for tripping called on the Knights Ty Justice, but the Knights wouldn't be affected and Beau Bent logged his fifth of the season on the penalty kill. Shortly after, Raiders player Greta Iversen was called for a hooking and both teams were on the game sheet. The teams traded penalties for the remainder of the first period.

Onto the second, the Knights continued the momentum and launched another goal onto the clock off the stick of Anatoly Yanovich at the eight minute mark. A couple minutes later both teams grabbed a penalty, one for boarding and the other for interference. Using this to their advantage the Knights grabbed another goal from Vasily Horvat who would give the team a 3-0 lead. Only a few seconds later though the Raiders would speed down the ice and Victor Lindstrom created a great highlight reel goal.

Finally in the third period with the score 3-1 for the Kelowna Knights, we saw Halifax get a little aggressive as Kaiser picks up two for roughing. Short while later and Kaiser is back in the box, this time for an interference. These two penalties would impact the game enough that Kelowna's Alex Light had time to slam the puck home and finish off the Raiders in a strong fashion.

Tonight's Turning Point

Tonight's turning point came in the second period on Horvat's goal after the teams both grabbed penalties halfway through the period. In giving both teams momentum the Raiders made a mistake as Horvat scored a very important goal to strengthen the lead.

Player Comparison

- Joey Ryan -

Joey Ryan had a great game with the Raiders tonight, despite the disappointing loss. He put up an assist, as well as three hits and three shots on net. He created plays on both sides of the ice for a spectacular showing.

- Ty Justice -

Justice has and always will be a great offensive spark, and tonight was no different. The sophmore put up two assists and added a shot and shot blocked as well as three hits for a very dominant game.

Three Stars

1st Star - Beau Bent

Bent could be one of the next franchise players in the SHL, and its no doubt that he continues to develop. With a goal, assist, four shots and two hits he had all the makings of an all-star with his first star worthy play.

2nd Star - Anatoly Yanovich

Yanovich had a game similar to that of Bent but was a little more physical. The big man put up a goal and added four shots and three hits for a game that was both offensive and oppressive.

3rd Star - Vasily Horvat

Not only did Horvat have the turning point goal of the night, he also showed his real skill on the ice. With a goal on two shots (50% shooting percentage) and a crazy five hits, he really pulled out all the stops tonight.
