GREENWAY— The Raiders outshot the Timberwolves 43 to 27 as they broke the Timberwolves winning streak with a 4-1 victory on home ice here on last Thursday. The loss drops Ely’s record to 7-3.
Both teams hit the scoreboard early. Greenway’s Brayden Nielsen and Layn Hustad lit the lamp at the 1:14 and 3:05 marks respectively. Ely’s Drew Marolt got the Wolves back in the game just over two minutes later with a power play goal at the 5:20 mark with an assist by Owen Marolt. But that early flurry was all either team could muster until the final period when Greenway added two insurance goals at the 4:11 and 7:01 marks.
The Wolves had their chances with seven power plays on the night but the Raiders managed to fend them off all but once. Ely’s Wes Sandy spent two minutes in the box for hooking midway through the first period for the Wolves’ only penalty.
Ely goalie Ben Leeson notched 39 saves.
