The Huskies put forth a strong effort in Grande Prairie Friday Night, only to watch as the Wheelers scored on a scramble off a faceoff with just 8 seconds remaining to win the game 3-2.
Chris Jenkins made his first start of the season and was very strong for most of the game. Chris likely couldn't see either the game tying or game winnning goals as he was screened on both shots, but made some huge saves in the third to keep the game tied at two.
Brady Busche and Richard MacDonald made their Season debuts for the team and stepped in without missing a stride.
Not present for the game was assist leader Bret Loney, steady first year rearguard Jack Christian and Adam Horst who came into the weekend leaing the league in goals.
The Defending champs don't have much time to hang their heads and dwell on this loss. The Huskies host the Slave Lake Wolves tonight at 8PM at the NPA and the Peace Air Navigators Sunday afternoon.
Look for Andrew Van Der Merwe to start tonight against the Wolves and Wendel Dyer to play against the Navigators on Sunday.
