The Waywayseecappo Wolverines gained a bit of ground on the West Division playoff race on Friday night as they beat the Winnipeg Blues 3-1.
Wearing pink jerseys, the Wolverines shut down the Blues attack, almost getting a shutout but letting in a goal in the final minutes.
After a scoreless first period, the Wolverines were able to get two goals in the second period, when Sebastien Hicks scored on a 2-on-1, and Ryley Cyca scored from the point to make it 2-0 after the first forty minutes.
In the third, the Blues got within one goal when Max Stanton got his third of the year with only 3:38 in the game.
But the Wolverines secured the victory when Sebastian Stone got an empty net powerplay goal to make it the final 3-1.
Mariko Bercier came up big with 26 saves in the game, while Samuel Couture stopped 25 in the loss.
The Wolverines were 2/5 on the powerplay and killed off all five of the Blues powerplays.
