The Story
The Stampeders played another solid road game, only giving up one power play during their game against Winnipeg. Swan Valley was able to jump out to a 1-0 lead on a great passing play by Myles Mason and Landen Gulutzan to find a wide open Josh Danis who went five-hole for his fourth of the year.
The Stampeders used a power play in the second period to go up 2-0 as Justin Keck sent a shot on goal that was deflected in by Trey Sauder at 3:04. Brandon Funk collected his first of the game, scoring just over six minutes later to pull the Blues to within one. Alex Walicki cleaned up a wild rebound at the side of the net, giving his team a 3-1 lead heading into the third period.
The Stampeders came out flying, scoring three straight goals, giving them a 6-1 lead. Griffin Ayotte scored his fourth of the year, ripping one past Brock Moroz 50 seconds into the third. Collin Jennings silenced the crowd with another unbelievable solo effort, scoring short-handed at 5:17. Landen Gulutzan collected his third of the year on the power play at 17:09.
