MONROE, LA - René Hiekkataipale scored twice and Bailey Stephens made 36 saves to help the Baton Rouge Zydeco defeat the Monroe Moccasins 4-1 on Saturday night at the Monroe Civic Center.

On Hockey Fights Cancer Night, fans filled the arena in pink to honor and support those affected by cancer. Hiekkataipale opened the scoring just 1:52 into the first period, to give Baton Rouge the early lead. Dmitry Kuznetsov extended it to 2-0 midway through the frame, and the Zydeco carried that cushion into intermission.

In the second, Baton Rouge took full control. Tyler Larwood struck with a shorthanded goal at 7:19, while Hiekkataipale netted his second of the night on the power play in the final minute to make it 4-0. Monroe broke through late in the third when Austin Albrecht with 1:10 left in regulation, spoiling the shutout bid for Stephens.

Richie Parent made his first start in net for the Moccasins, stopping 27 of 31 shots in the loss. Despite outshooting Baton Rouge 37-31, Monroe struggled to solve Stephens, who was solid between the pipes.

The Moccasins (1-1-0) will look to bounce back when they host the Zydeco (1-1-0) again next Friday to open a two-game series in Monroe.
