Fort Saskatchewan Rangers @ Ernies Sports Storm

The Ernie’s Sports Storm took game one of their best-of-five series on Friday, defeating the Fort Saskatchewan Rangers 4-1 at the Coca-Cola Centre.

Dayne Tews kicked off the scoring for the Storm 1:09 into the second period to give them a 1-0 lead. The rest of the second would remain scoreless.

In the third, Jayden Watson would add one early in the third period to make it a 2-0 Storm lead.

Just over two minutes later, Hudson Foley would score to extend the lead to 3-0.

McCoy Kudlik scored the only goal of the game for the Rangers with 11:26 remaining to cut the lead to 3-1, but that’s as close they would get.

Watson added his second of the game with 1:50 remaining in the game to seal the victory for the Storm.

The teams will play game two on Saturday afternoon in Fort Saskatchewan. Game three will go on Monday at 5:00 p.m. at the Coke Centre.

Leduc Oil Kings @ Golden Arrow Bantam AAA Storm

Meanwhile, the Golden Arrow Bantam AAA Storm will play a winner-take-all game three tonight against the Leduc Oil Kings at the Coke Centre in their first round AMBHL playoff series.

The Storm won game one on Tuesday night 6-5, but fell to Leduc 24-hours later 5-2 in game two of the series.

It was the Storm’s first loss of the season to the Oil Kings, as the Storm swept the regular season series between the teams.
