Raiders’ rookie Lodewyk scores first goal in his hometown as P.A. routs Rebels

Stanick’s ‘chip tip’ goal 1:42 into the second period would look like it would be the end of Rebels’ goaltender Chase Coward’s night, after he gave up three goals on 11 shots. But his replacement, Connor Ungar, didn’t fare much better as he surrendered three goals on seven shots for the remaining 18:18 of the second period. Coward went back out in the third period and ended the night with 15 saves on 19 shots.

In the Raiders’ goal, it seems Tikhon Chaika will never leave the crease as he’s made appearances in all of the last 15 games. Chaika made 26 saves on 29 shots for his ninth victory on the season.

The game got even stranger in the second period as both teams took major penalties and game misconducts in the second period. Raider newcomer Trevor Thurston hit Rebel Czech import Frantisek Formanek with a kneeing penalty, forcing Thurston’s early exit.

Then later in the period, Christoffer Sedoff hit Ozzy Wiesblatt into the end boards awkwardly, and Sedoff earned the same fate. Both Formanek and Wiesblatt did not return to the game.
