HJHL Roundup - Nov. 22

Thunder 6, Lightning 3

Brayden Dunn finally got the monkey off his back.

Dunn scored and had a pair of assists as the Airdrie Techmation Thunder doubled up the Stettler Lightning 6-3.

"That was my first goal since my first game (of the season)," Dunn said. "And I've probably had 50 shots since then.

"I just haven't been able to find the back of the net."

Mathew MacDonald scored his first of the season while Tristan Paquette, Kyle Bracko, Jonathan Lake and Kirkland Spencer also lit the lamp for Airdrie.

Spencer's powerplay goal early in the third period broke open a 3-3 game.

"We talked during the second intermission and said 'let's wake up a little bit and play our game,'" Dunn said.

"We came out in the third, scored three and got the two points."

Matt Sylvester scored twice and Alex DeYoung chipped in with a single for Stettler (5-12-1), which visits Medicine Hat on Sunday afternoon.

The Thunder (14-4-0), who outshot the Lightning 59-28, host Coaldale next Friday.

Rams 3, Colts 2

The losing streak was at eight games.

Devon Carroll said 'that's enough.'

The 19-year-old stood on his head, kicking out 63 shots as the Rams edged the Colts.

Landon Siegle scored a pair of goals and Brett McNutt chipped in with a single as the expansion squad improved to 3-14-0 and moved out of the HJHL basement.

Zane Leatherdale and Josh Gette replied for Mountainview (10-7-1), which hosts Coaldale on Saturday.

The Rams host the Copperheads Sunday afternoon.

Wranglers 2, Vipers 0

Cameron Loomis-Labrosse stopped all 21 shots that came his way as the Wranglers blanked the Vipers.

Taite Opdendries and Beaudon Rider scored second period powerplay goals to provide Sylvan Lake with all the offence it would need.

The Wranglers (10-9-0), who killed off all five Vipers powerplays, visits Ponoka on Wednesday.

Red Deer (9-7-0) hosts Cochrane on Saturday.

Flyers 4, Wheatland Kings 1

The Flyers are back in fifth place.

Josh Russo had a goal and a helper while Brandt Black, Michael McTighe and Jharin Bantugan also found the back of the net for the Flyers (7-10-2).

The Wheatland Kings (7-11-0) host Cochrane on Sunday afternoon while High River is off until they welcome rival Okotoks next Friday.
