"The Capitals' 2025 first-round pick then hit teammate Casey Brown with a great pass, starting a two-on-one break. Brown faked a shot and dished back to Lakovic. As the 18-year-old forward attempted to deke, he lost control of the puck. But no matter, Lakovic picked it back up off the end boards and beat goaltender Dimitri Fortin to the short-side post for an easy put-in."
"The goal marked Lakovic's 13th goal in 14 games this season, putting him in a tie with the Everett Silvertips' Shea Busch for the most goals in the WHL. Lakovic is playing - and scoring - in all situations for the Warriors, notching eight goals at even strength, three goals on the power play, and two shorthanded. While Lakovic is firing on all cylinders, the Warriors are not."
Lynden Lakovic scored a shorthanded goal in Moose Jaw's 6-4 loss to the Prince Albert Raiders after stealing the puck and finishing a solo effort. The play began when Riley Boychuk regained the puck along the boards; Lakovic tapped it off his stick, forced the turnover, then joined Casey Brown on a two-on-one. Brown faked a shot and passed back; Lakovic momentarily lost the puck but recovered it off the end boards and beat Dimitri Fortin on the short-side. Lakovic has 13 goals in 14 games, tied for the WHL lead, with even-strength, power-play, and shorthanded goals. Moose Jaw sits 7-8-1 and acquired goalie Chase Wutzke from Red Deer for five draft picks.
