The Riders scored three in the first period survived a bit of a Dynamiter push in the second period then exchanged goals in the third for a 4-1 win and a 3-0 series lead.
Aiden Kruhlak had the win in the Rider net stopping 29 of 30 and Matt Fleet took the loss in the Nitro net stopping 32 of 36 shots.
Liam Fitzgerald scored two, one short handed, Taylor Haggerty PP had the game winner and Eli Neilsen on the PP ended any thoughts of a comeback later in the third..
Penalties were a thing in this game, the Riders went 2-8 and Kimberley 1-3.
Kimberley spent lots of time head hunting and much to the dismay of their coaches they took most of the penalties and a few misconducts.
A mere fraction of what could have been called. The Riders got away with some things as well.
Anyway game four is Tuesday March 7 here in Fernie
