Swift Current Broncos News Release


The Swift Current Broncos dropped their final meeting of the season with the Prince Albert Raiders, falling 4-1 Saturday night at the Art Hauser Centre.

Prince Albert struck early and often in the opening period, with Maddix McCagherty opening the scoring at 5:41. Brandon Gorzynski added another one at at 8:58, a goal that would stand as the game-winner, before Aiden Oiring capitalized on the power play at 13:25 to give the Raiders a 3-0 lead after 20 minutes. The Raiders outshot Swift Current 19-4 in the frame and carried momentum into the intermission.

The Broncos showed more push in the second, generating a handful of offensive chances and tightening things up defensively. However, Linden Burrett extended the Raiders' lead at 5:32. Swift Current thought they had broken through on the power play later in the period, but the goal was waved off due to a high stick. Despite a stronger effort, the Broncos trailed 4-0 heading into the third.

Swift Current opened the final frame with energy and was rewarded at 3:22 when Carter Moen scored his seventh of the season, finishing off a play from Jayden Oleskiw and Colton Alain. The Broncos continued to compete but couldn't find another breakthrough in the third, making the 4-1 final.

The Raiders held a 42-13 edge in shots. Aiden Eskit was a bright spot for Swift Current, turning aside 38 of 42 shots and keeping the game within reach for much of the night. The Broncos went 0-for-2 on the power play, while Prince Albert finished 1-for-2. Faceoffs were nearly even, with the Raiders edging the Broncos 20-19.

With the loss, Swift Current's record moves to 13-37-3-3. The Broncos return home Tuesday night to face the Penticton Vees at the InnovationPlex.
