| Crosby leads the CCHL in shots with 25. |
CALGARY – Carey Price left the game in the last minute of the first period as the Calgary Chinook win their fourth straight home games to start the season. After the game, Carey Price was diagnosed with an upper body injury that put him to Day to Day. Wisborg Donuts goalie Nilsson was also injured in this game and replaced by Lehner in the middle of the second period.
Howard went on and made 18 saves to get the win for the Chinook. “It was great to have a reliable backup goalie that can win games for you. “ Said GM Eugene Yip. Howard was acquired in the offseason from the Dayton Musicmen for prospect Marcus Petterson.
Crosby, Niederreiter, Backlund and Letang scored for the Chinooks and Rakell has the only goal for the Donuts. “That was an unbelievable game by Backs.” Captain Crosby said. “Especially the shorthanded breakaway goal he scored in the second period.”
Despite the win tonight, there was a concern with the performance of left winger Johnny Gaudreau, who only have one point in the last four games playing on the first line with Sidney Crosby and Pastrnak. “I am not worried about his production; points will eventually come for a player like Johnny. I have no plan in tinkering with the lines just yet, “said GM Eugene Yip.
NOTES:
Sidney Crosby is leading the league in Shots with 25.
It was Wisborg Donuts first loss of the season.
UP NEXT:
Chinooks will visit the Halifax Hammerheads and Austin Matthews, who are also unbeaten with one win and two ties to start the season.
