SOLDOTNA —It didn’t take long for Braden Kinnebrew to strike back at his old team.

The defenseman, who was traded from Alaska to Kenai River earlier this week, recorded a regulation goal and slipped another puck into the back of the net during a shootout to lead his new squad, the Brown Bears, to a 3-2 shootout win over the Avs at the Soldotna Sports Center in Soldotna on Friday.

Kinnebrew recorded an even-strength tally to tie the score at 1 midway through the first, and was the first Kenai River player to beat Alaska netminder Landon Peterson during the shootout.
