Storm snap three game losing skid

Apr 17, 2021 | 9:27 AM

Paycen Bjorklund’s goal in the fourth round of the shoot out stood up as the winner as the Grande Prairie Storm picked up a 3-2 win in Fort McMurray on Friday night.

Cooper Connell and Ethan Strang also scored for the Storm, who were playing their first game since March 27th, after cases of COVID-19 forced the Storm, the Whitecourt Wolverines, and the Drayton Valley Thunder to shut down in-ice operations for two weeks.

Joe Howe made 34 saves in net for the Storm, who led 1-0 after the first period. The teams were tied at two after 40 minutes.

The win snapped a three game losing streak for the Storm, who last tasted victory back on March 20th, a 3-1 home ice triumph over Drayton Valley.

The two teams will meet again Saturday afternoon in Fort McMurray. They are also scheduled to face off in a doubleheader on April 23rd and 24th in Grande Prairie.
