The Creston Valley Thunder Cats scored 3 goals in less than 30 seconds last night, as they eased to an 8-2 win over the Nelson Leafs.
Creston took the lead early with Liam Munro finding the net four minutes in. The visitors made it hurt even more, with Grady Clarkson sinking another with six seconds remaining in the first period.
Back on the ice and a fumble by Creston saw Nelson’s Ty Nykyforuk claim their first point of the game, but Thunder Cats’ Keethan Isbister was quick to respond with Creston’s third.
Chase Bambrick capitalized on an empty net in a last minute power play, expanding Creston’s lead 4-1 heading into the final period.
The Leafs saw a glimmer of hope with Parker Toth’s early goal in the third, but that was quickly lost to Creston’s triple within 30 seconds by Chase Bambrick and Holden Parada’s double.
Creston’s Isbister sunk in his second for the game with 5 minutes to go, for a final score of 8-3 for our mid-week match up.
The Leafs are still chasing their first pre-season win, but will have one more opportunity against Creston tomorrow, in Creston.
