High River, AB (November 14, 2025) – The High River Flyers shut down the Red Deer Vipers’ power play tonight but were handed a 4-1 loss at the end of the game at Bob Snodgrass Rec Plex.

The Flyers would not only finish with a power play goal on their only opportunity with the extra man, but they also shut down the Vipers’ power play as they went 0/5 on the night.

Kaiden Fulton made the start in net for the Flyers and played phenomenally as he made 43 saves on 46 shots. Cole McLean was on the other side of the ice for the Vipers.

The first period would see Red Deer open the scoring 7:50 into the frame. Luke Simanton got credit for the Vipers’ first goal of the game.

The second period would go scoreless as Fulton would make 16 saves in the second frame alone and 31 combined in the first two periods.

Vipers added a second goal 6:21 into the final frame with Carter Krause getting the marker. Flyers assistant captain Lucas Hughes would end McLean’s shutout bid six minutes later to cut the Vipers’ lead to just one goal. Carson Grimeau picked up the primary assist, with McCallum Bakken getting the secondary assist. Mason Hastings gave the Vipers their two-goal lead back just over a minute later, and Brady Leroux iced the game with the empty-netter.

The Flock will be back on the ice tomorrow in Medicine Hat when they face the Cubs.
