The best of the best in the American Hockey League got together for their all-star series on Monday, and Prince Albert Raiders fans may have seen a familiar face during the event. Once granted a spot in the big games, that former Raider made the most of his opportunity.
Former captain Brayden Pachal, who spent parts of three seasons with the team from 2017 to 2019, was named to Team Pacific for the AHL all-star games. Pachal amassed two goals and three assists in four games for Team Pacific.
“It was a little bit of a surprise at first,” Pachal said. “We had (forward Daniil) Miromanov get that honour and unfortunately due to injury, he couldn’t make it. I was super thankful and excited to get a second chance at a fill-in role, and it was a cool experience in general.”
Pachal joked that he would’ve liked to see a hardest hitter event at the skills competition before the games, but he still found some events to suit his skills, including hardest shot (in which he placed third), rapid shooting, and the breakaway challenge (in which he scored on his only shot). Then the games began.
