The Aldergrove Kodiaks went one and one last week, with a 4-3 away victory over the Port Moody Panthers Saturday and a 1-6 loss to the Delta Ice Hawks at home on Wednesday.

The Kodiaks took charge of the Panthers’ tilt from the start and kept their lead to the end of the third period.

Kodiak captain Davin Padgham opened the scoring early in the first period, unassisted, followed by Kodiak DJ Horne, from Benjamin Meng, to take a 2-0 lead.

Kodiak Paulvir Dosanjh scored the second period’s only goal, assisted by Cobe Dean and Padgham to make it 3-0 going into the third.

The Panthers responded with two of their own in the third before Kodiak Dayton Spink, unassisted, made it 4-2. The Panthers managed to score one more at the end of the game for the 4-3 Kodiaks win.

The Panthers outshot the Kodiaks 45-41, and neither team scored on their power plays.

Kodiaks Padgham and keeper Chad Cromar were the game’s first and third stars.

The result leaves the Kodiaks at 22 points after 23 games.

The Kodiaks 1-6 defeat at the hands of the visiting Delta Ice Hawks Nov. 7 did not reflect the effort the Aldergrove team put into the game.

It was a disappointing result after three straight victories the week before in back-to-back away and home games.

Kodiak Conor Byrne scored their only goal that night, assisted by Padgham, in the first period.

The Kodiaks outshot the Ice Hawks 30-23, and were unable to score on five power plays while the Ice Hawks scored on two of four.

Next up for the Kodiaks is an away game at George Preston Arena, Wednesday, Nov. 14, against the Langley Trappers. The Kodiaks’ next home game is Wednesday, Nov. 21, 7:15 p.m. at Aldergrove Credit Union Community Centre.
