Day 16: ROV@SEL review

Rolling into Lethbridge, the Rovers were feeling good about the direction of their offense. They left Lethbridge with no reason to question it. Avenging a 1-0 season-opening loss, the Rovers outgunned the Selects 7-4 behind a Kris Draper hat-trick. The second-line did the damage in this game, with Korolyuk - Draper - Ekman combining for five goals and ten points. Nathan Horton scored in his third straight game (his team-leading fifth) and Chris Pronger scored his first of the season to go with two assists. The win was slightly muted by a second-period injury to starter Martin Gerber, who had allowed only one goal on 13 shots in the first. Backup Chris Mason relieved him, yielding three goals on 17 shots through the final 39 minutes. The injury is not believed to be serious. "Marty felt a lot better after the game, but he did need to come out", Stringer said of the injury. "We have a game tomorrow night so Mase will likely start that one, and then Marty should be ready for our roadtrip on the weekend".
