The Stettler Imperials improved their record to 3-3 on Saturday night as the offense went to work and led the team to their third victory of the season.
The Hughenden Jets scored first in the first frame before Erik and Ethan Rost scored to give the Imperials the lead after the first.
There was a flurry of goals in the second period. Four goals from Stettler and two from Hughenden. Stettler had the 6-3 lead after the second.
Hughenden scored first in the third period making it just a two-goal cushion for the Imperials. It wasn’t close for long, as about 3 minutes after that Hughenden powerplay goal, Dylan Houston would score to make it 7-4. The Imperials would score five unanswered goals to finish the game with eleven. The final score was 11-4.
Ethan Rost had a hat trick that evening, scoring once per period.
The Stettler Imperials are back at home on Saturday, December 7th. For the first time ever, the Imperials will face the Wainwright Rustlers, who just entered the East Central Senior Hockey League this season.
