Calgary Canucks one game away from advancing to AJHL semi-final

Jack Plandowski scored twice Wednesday night as the Calgary Canucks moved to within one game of the AJHL semi-finals.

The Calgary Canucks are just one win away from advancing to the semi-finals in the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) playoffs.

Wednesday in Game 4 against the Kodiaks in Camrose, the Canucks fell behind 2-0 until Jack Plandowski scored to cut the deficit to 2-1 after one period.

In the second, Calgary tied it up when Plandowski buried a rebound off a shot by Rhett Melnyk to tie it at two apiece.

The Canucks took their first lead of the night in the third after a Kodiak turnover in their own zone led to Luc Trevors setting up Rhys Jamieson, who didn’t miss, making it 3-2 Canucks.

A little bit later, Landon Pappas found Trevors lurking in front of the Camrose net and Trevors made it 4-2 Canucks, who added a late goal to make the final 5-2.

Calgary leads the series three games to one and have a chance to wrap it up Friday night at the Ken Bracko Arena.

Puck drop is a little after 7 p.m.

On Thursday, Plandowski was named to the AJHL’s All-Academic Team.
