Crosby, Chinook beat Thunder 3-1
CALGARY – Sidney Crosby had his first goal of the season and Carey Price stopped 17 shots as the Calgary Chinook extended the home winning streak to three games with a 3-1 victory over the Niagara Thunder on Tuesday.
The Chinook continue to gain momentum at home by staying perfect so far this season.
Carey Price was not as busy as the previous two games, he only faced 18 shots the whole game, Coach Eugene Yip stress that defense plays a key part in this game. “The Calgary Chinook was always a defensive first team. You can see this trend in the previous years as well. Pricey was a huge part of why this system works in every season, but this season he gets more help with addition of Weber. I will take a 3-1 win than a 7-6 win any day.” Price has improved his save percentage an impressive 0.935. Bidding for his first shutout of the season, Price was finally beaten at 11:38 of the third when Giordano mishandled the puck in front of his net and Toews whipped it past the surprised goaltender.
Panarin and Silfverberg also scored for Calgary (3-0-0).
Notes: Flames LW Gaudreau left the game in the second period when Orpik slashed his hand. Gaudreau should be ready to play the next game. Thunder’s Haley had a game misconduct when he crossed checked Crosby from behind, Crosby was checked for concussion symptoms but returned to play at the end of the first period.
UP NEXT: The Calgary Chinook hosts the Wisborg Donuts which are also undefeated so far this season on Thursday.
