Lethbridge Hurricanes sweep Washington road trip, climb WHL East standings
The Hurricanes picked up six points across three games to even their season record at 4-4, pulling them out of last place in the division.
The Lethbridge Hurricanes swept a three-game road trip through Washington State, defeating the Tri-City Americans 5-3 on Wednesday, the Spokane Chiefs 4-2 on Friday, and the Wenatchee Wildcats 4-1 on Saturday night.
The results evened the club's record to four wins and four losses and lifted Lethbridge out of the basement of the WHL's East Division. Following Saturday's win, the Hurricanes sat in a three-way tie for fourth place with the Calgary Hitmen and Swift Current Broncos, just one point behind rival Medicine Hat.
Forward Logan Stuart was named the game's first star in Saturday's win over Wenatchee, factoring into all four Lethbridge goals with two of his own and two assists. Four of the game's five total goals came in the third period. Goaltender Koen Cleaver stopped 23 of 24 shots, with the Wildcats' only goal coming with 21.4 seconds left in the game.
The Hurricanes return to VisitLethbridge.com Arena on Wednesday, Oct. 14 to host the Victoria Royals, with three of their next four games scheduled on home ice.
