After defeating the Spruce Grove Regals 7-3 in their home-ice opener the week before, the Jets fell 6-0 to them on the road Friday night. Fortunately, the Jets rebounded with a 3-1 win at home over the Wetaskiwin Icemen.
The split weekend brings the Jets to a 2-2-0 record two weekends in.
Friday night’s road game saw the Regals and Jets almost evenly matched at 37-33 shots, respectively; however, Regals backstop Easton Cutler managed to stop all 33 shots sent his way.
The Regals built their win with 3 in the first, two in the second, and one in the final frame.
Sunday’s home-ice contest saw the Jets keep the Icemen off the board for 38 minutes, ending the first 1-0 and building it to 2-0 before the Icemen scored. Another goal in the third frame into an empty Wetaskiwin net gave the Jets a 3-1 win for their troubles.
The Jets are on the road for their Oct. 1 and Oct. 6 games, but return to the Morinville AAA arena on Sunday, Oct. 8, for a 4:15 p.m. game against the fort Saskatchewan Hawks.
