Brad Lambert and Reid Schaefer scored goals eight seconds apart in the third period as the Seattle Thunderbirds earned a 4-2 victory over the Winnipeg Ice in Game 2 of the WHL Championship series. FOX13
Lambert – a first-round pick of the NHL's Winnipeg Jets – scored two goals in the game for Seattle, Jeremy Hanzel scored a goal as well, and Dylan Guenther had three assists on the night for the Thunderbirds. The series shifts to accesso ShoWare Center in Kent for the next three games of the best-of-seven series.
"It’s special to be playing for the WHL Championship," Lambert said. "It’s unbelievable and not many guys get the chance, so I’m just trying to make the most of it. For it to be in Winnipeg, it adds a little more to it." Hanzel got Seattle on the board just 1:24 into the second period. A blast from the right circle found its way by Winnipeg goaltender Daniel Hausen to knot the score up at 1-1.
The ensuing face-off went deep into the Winnipeg zone. Graham Sward's attempt to move the puck behind the net went awry as it caromed off the back of the net to Guenther. Schaefer drove to the front of the net and buried a pass from Guenther by Hauser for a quick 3-1 Seattle advantage.
