Wolverines on outside looking in

The wolverines have had a huge lead over the Swan Valley Stampeders for most of the year in the standings, but going into sat. night swan was looking to take over the wolves for third in the Sherwood division. The first period would solve nothing as both teams would get some chances but the score would be 0-0. In the second swan’s T.J. Fairall would score just 0:33 seconds into the period to take a 1-0 lead. The wolves would even things up 4 minutes later as Brett Pinkerton would get his 19th of the year to tie the game at 1-1. Swan would get the lead right back just 0:45 seconds later and with just 17 seconds left in the second  Fairall would get his second goal of the game to take a 3-1 lead into the 3rd. The wolves would mount a push in the 3rd firing 15 shots at swan’s goaltender Jayson Argue but he would stand tall and lead swan to a 3-1 victory. With the win swan would overtake Wayway by one point for the ever important 3rd spot in the division. Riley Feser would take the loss in his first game back with the wolves after he was brought back to Wayway in a trade with Neepawa at the deadline. Early period and late period goals continue to plague the wolverines this season and tonight was no different. The next night Wayway was to play host to the rematch between these two teams but a storm ripped through swan river and swan was unable to travel. Game is rescheduled for Sunday Jan. 22 at 7:30 in Wayway.

In the second the blues Derek Gingera would get the games 1st goal getting one past wolves goalie Cory Simons. Richard Little would get his 11th of the year assists to Brett Pinkerton and Shane Goodrunning. Once again the tie would be short lived as Brock Vanderveen would restore the lead just 0:43 seconds after Little would tie it. In the third Wayway would get numerous opportunities on the pp but as of late could not capitalize on any of their four pp in the 3rd period. Wayway would once again lose another one goal heartbreaker 2-1. The loss would keep Wayway one point back of swan for 3rd in the Sherwood division.
