The Notre Dame Hounds (6-9-1-1) defeated the Kindersley Klippers (12-6-1-1) 2-0 at the West Central Events Centre.
1st period:
Tyrell King seemed to be fighting the puck in the opening frame and it would lead to the Hounds 1-0 lead. Bobbling a shot that came from the top of the circle, King left a rebound for Hounds forward Cory Anderson who made no mistake, snapping home his fifth of the season.
The Klippers are without forward and second-leading scorer Cody Thiel, who fractured his jaw Friday night in Wilcox against these same Hounds.
After 20 minutes of play, the shots sit even at 12 a piece.
2nd period:
A lifeless Kindersley Klippers power play continues to take its toll on the team. The Klippers have squandered three man-advantage opportunities through two periods and failed to generate any real scoring chances on the power play.
Coming off another failed power-play opportunity, Sean Naish took a slashing penalty. Taking advantage of any opportunity they’ve been given thus far, the Hounds would pounce as Dillion Schwartzenberger buried a rebound on a scramble play at the top of the crease to give Notre Dame a 2-0 lead.
After 40 minutes the Hounds lead on the shot clock 22-20.
3rd period:
The Notre Dame Hounds hung on in the third period to defeat the Kindersley Klippers 2-0.
