An offensive outburst in the second period was the difference as the Calgary Dinos handed the Saskatchewan Huskies a 5-2 loss on Saturday night at Father David Bauer Arena.
The Dinos broke open a scoreless game with three goals in a span of 2:22 and the Huskies never recovered, suffering their first loss of the young season.
Saskatchewan had plenty of chances to open the scoring in the first, outshooting the Dinos 18-6 but Calgary netminder Carl Tetachuk stopped everything that came his way, helping the home team escape the period without surrendering a goal. Tetachuk saves his best for a four minute Huskies power play which generated several chances, including a shot that rang off the post.
With their goaltender making his presence felt the Dinos took advantage in the second as Zach Wytinck fired a one-timer past Jordan Kooy from the slot. The chance came after a Huskies turnover inside their own blue line. Josh Maser made it 2-0 just 39 seconds later and before the Dogs could catch their breath, Jake Gricius netted a third goal to inflate the Dinos lead.
