Goalie stymies Oil Kings to lift visiting Raiders to win
The boost of striking first didn't last on Saturday night for the Edmonton Oil Kings.
Adam Jecho scored his Oil Kings-leading fifth goal of the season to open the scoring at 11:43 of the first period, but the visiting Prince Albert Raiders accounted for the rest of the scoring after that in a 4-1 Western Hockey League win.
Aiden Oiring replied for the Raiders less than four minutes later, followed by markers from Matej Kubiesa, Carter Anderson and Ryder Ritchie in front of 3,827 spectators at downtown Edmonton's Rogers Place.
The lone goal by Edmonton didn't come as the result of a lack of effort by the Oil Kings, who peppered Raiders goalie Max Hildebrand with 36 shots. His Oil Kings counterpart, Kolby Hay, stopped 17.
With the loss, the Oil Kings fall to 3-3-1 on the season while the Raiders improve to 4-3. Edmonton faces the visiting Lethbridge Hurricanes in their next game, which is slated for Monday at 12 noon.
