The Weyburn Red Wings managed to take down the Klippers tonight by a score of 4-3. It took and extra period to get the job done but the hero of the night was Preston Shupe (4 point night) as he scored nearly halfway through overtime to end it.
Things got started in the first period as the line of Sawka, Leedahl and Redlick opened the scoring at 10:03. Sawka put the first one past Whiffen but Weyburn stormed back as Shupe and Doody scored one a piece to grab a 2-1 lead heading into the second period.
It was once again Kindersley’s top line who came out firing in the second as Redlick scored at 8:42, assists went to Sawka and Leedahl. Then it was Sawka scoring his second of the night at 11:29, assists went to Redlick and Leehdahl. The Red Wings didn’t let the Klippers hold the lead for long. Torrey Lindsay scored at 13:35 to tie it up at three a piece. Assisting on the goal was Bly and Shupe.
With a scoreless third period the boys headed to overtime. Overtime was delayed by over 40 minutes due to some ice problems near the Kindersley net. Finally when it got started it was Preston Shupe who ended it on the powerplay it to cut the Klippers series lead 2-1.

I see that Kindersley didnt give a star to Shupe even though he had 2 goals & 2 assists including OT winner. At least when Weyburn picks their stars they give credit where credit is due.
All of a sudden its a new series! Good job Wings!
Go get em tommorro night..
Well that shows the class that our announcers have.
If Kindersley didn't pick Shupe as a star it is just showing their poor sportsmanship.
Way to go!
