One more for the good guys!

You can rack up another win for the Weyburn Red Wings. Despite giving up two goals in the third period, the Weyburn Red Wings managed to pick up two points versus the Notre Dame Hounds tonight. Preston Shupe and Rhett Bly fired home two goals in the shootout while Tanner Erickson kept the Hounds from scoring on both chances to give the Wings a 4-3 win.

The Wings looked shaky early on as Notre Dame’s TJ Ahvenniemi scored at 1:57 of the first period to grab the early one goal lead which would hold up for the remainder of the period.

The second period saw the Weyburn Red Wings come out firing on all cylinders. At just 51 seconds into the period, Luke Johnson scored his first of the night with the assists going to Feniak and Nargang. Then at 9:20, Preston Shupe scored to give the Red Wings the lead. Finally, Luke Johnson put home his second of the night at 11:16 to grab a two goal lead heading into the third period.

Just as the Red Wings looked to have the game in the bag, the Notre Dame Hounds looked to take a bite out of the Wings. They scored once at 9:05 and again at 15:57 to tie the game up at three to send it to overtime.

Overtime solved nothing, so it was off to a shootout. Tanner Erickson stopped his first shot by Roy Farrer. Then Preston Shupe (Unstoppable as of late) was once again CLUTCH! He put one past Andre-Michel Guay to grab a 1-0 lead. Then Erickson again stopped Travis Janke to give Luke Johnson the chance to end the game. He made good on his chance as he put one past Guay to end the game and give the Red Wings the 4-3 win.

We hope you all come out to the Colosseum tomorrow night as the Red Wings take on the Yorkton Terriers. Game time is 7:30
