Pastrnak nets hat trick in 8-4 Chinook win



HALIFAX –  David Pastrnak and the Calgary Chinook dominated the Halifax Hammerheads for the second half of the game with an offensive barrage Friday night.

Pastrnak recorded his first hat trick of the season, Crosby and Pavelski each had two points and Calgary beat Halifax 8-4 to get back to the winning column after a tie with the Wisborg Donuts two days ago. Pastrnak's second goal at 11:28 of the second period on a shot that sneaked through the legs of Kinkaid.  The goal turns out to be the game winner and it was all Chinook after that.

''It feels pretty good. It's obviously nice to score some goals,'' Pastrnak said. “It's definitely nice to get those three in.''  All three goals are unassisted.

Pavelski, Niederreiter, Silfverberg, Weber and Crosby also scored for the Chinook, and Carey Price made 33 stops.

Kulemin also scored a hat trick for the Hammerheads. Kinkaid made 29 saves on 37 shots.

''You want to have good responses when the other team gets the lead, we are down 2-0 at the start of the game'' Weber said. ''You're sort of fighting to get back in it. Some nice plays individually, obviously (Silfverberg) short-handed goal gave a big boost to the team and it changed the momentum for both sides.”

''It’s nice that we fought back after trailing by 2-0,'' Chinook head coach Eugene Yip said. 

NOTES:
Coming back from an injury, Pietrangelo logged 25 minutes of ice time, 2 assists and a plus three.
The two points tonight moved Crosby within one point of scoring leader Getzlaf.

UP NEXT:
The Calgary Chinook will host the Parry Sound Orrsmen on Sunday.
