The Moose spotted the Yeti a pair of goals to begin Friday’s contest. No problem. Jackson Hole used a deadly power play to come roaring back and take a 3-2 lead into the first intermission.
The Moose converted on 4 of their 5 man advantages while the Yeti went just 1-8 on the PP. Drew Akins (4G, 3A) enjoyed a 7-point night while linemates Stephen Miller (2G, 3A), and AJ Sanders (5 assists) also topped the scoresheet. Ryan Glantz (2G, 3A) added a pair of his own as the Moose trounced Vail.
