Cubs can’t contain Lightning in high-scoring affair Sunday
STETTLER, AB – Goals weren’t hard to come by in Stettler on Sunday for the Medicine Hat Travelodge Cubs, but they couldn’t cap the Lightning offence in an 8-6 loss.
Rallying from a pair of deficits, the Cubs couldn’t struggled to stay out of the box in the third period on Sunday to suffer their first loss of the 2018-19 HJHL season.
Stettler opened the scoring just over eight minutes into the game with a Rylee Jacobson unassisted marker, but the Cubs answered right back on the power play from Joshua Schafer one minute later.
An unassisted goal off the post from Alex Duclos at the midway mark of the frame gave Medicine Hat their first lead of the game, before Stettler tied things up at 2-2 thanks to Matt Sylvester.
