Helena wins game 2 over Quake

If the 2010-2011 hockey season is going to last beyond Friday, the Yellowstone Quake will have to dig deep for answers. For the second consecutive night, the Helena Bighorns baffled the Quake on the way to a shutout victory, this time by a 10-0 final count.

The formula was much the same as in Tuesday night's game, the Bighorns climbed on top early in the first period, added a second goal before the first intermission and then capitalized on some power play opportunities to build an insurmountable lead of 6-0 as play entered the final period.

The Bighorns held the Quake to just 14 shots on goal as the team recorded its second shut out in as many nights. The series now heads to Montana, where the Quake will have to win three consecutive games in Helena, starting on Friday night, if they hope to extend their season into another week.
