Continuing a trend that baffles their own management, the Vancouver Stealth made hay on the road again, this time tripping up the Colorado Mammoth on Sunday.
By a 10-6 margin, the visiting Stealth took advantage of a weary Mammoth lineup and led 3-1 after the opening quarter. New Westminster Salmonbellies’ forward Joel McCready opened the scoring for Vancouver at 1:08 of the first and Rhys Duch netted his first of four on the day to make it 2-1. The two teams traded goals in the second quarter, with the Stealth taking control in the fourth frame.
Backstopping the win was former Burnaby Lakers netminder Tye Belanger, who turned aside 53 shots and picked up two helpers.
The Lakers’ Eli McLaughlin had a goal and an assist for Colorado.
It improved Vancouver’s road record to 4-1; they’ve been a dismal 1-4 at the Langley Events Centre, but that one win came two weeks ago against the defending champion Saskatchewan Rush.
They next play on Friday, 7 p.m. when the Buffalo Bandits pay a visit to Langley.
