Calgary, AB- Coming off two consecutive wins, the Thunder Bay Timberwolves traveled west to Alberta to take on the Calgary Chinook and their rookie goaltender.
For the first ten minutes in the game both clubs battled but remained scoreless. At 8:56 Thunder Bay's Quintin Laing took an ill-advised hooking penalty. Giving Calgary an edge with the man advantage.
Swedish sniper, Kristian Huselius took a feed from Patrice Brisebois and backhanded a shot between the legs of a stretched out Antero Niittymaki.
The Timberwolves would not come back like in previous games this season. The Chinook would add two more goals in the third and shutdown the limited shots taken by Thunder Bay. The shots ended 40-17 in favour of Calgary.
Calgary's rookie goalie, Carey Price recorded his second career CCHL shutout in eight total games.
"Price is a very good goalie," said Thunder Bay's Patrick Sharp. "We didn't make him work too hard tonight, but you can see his poise and control when we were able to get some shots on him. Doesn't play like this is his first pro season."
The Timberwolves have Tuesday off from the ice, but will be flying out of Calgary to Toronto in the morning. After some fuel they will continue onto Denmark for their first game over the Atlantic against the Copenhagen Crusaders on Wednesday.
