Red Wings bring undefeated streak to five straight games

The Weyburn Red Wings are undefeated in five straight games, including their first victory of the season over the Notre Dame Hounds on Saturday.

After a scoreless first period, Ryan Kuntz and Rick Wood tallied two goals in the second period to put Weyburn up 2-0. Assists were credited to Steve Pearce, Greg Park, Jarod Eagles and Cody Wasik.

Park then scored an empty-netter in the final minutes of the third period, raising the score to 3-0. Kenny King and Pearce assisted.

The Wings also had a victory on Friday night in Yorkton, where they crushed the Terriers 4-2.

Cale Jordison was in net for Weyburn, receiving 27 shots on net.

Peter MacDougall scored Weyburn's first goal in the first period, assisted by Kuntz and Pearce.

Yorkton responded with two goals, but was unable to tie the game. Eagles added another to clinch Weyburn's victory at 4-2, assisted by Frankie Dicks and Wood.

On Wednesday, Weyburn hosted the Notre Dame Hounds for their first game of the week. Although they weren't able to salvage a win, Weyburn did receive a point from the 3-3 tie with the Hounds.

Kevin Magee played net for Weyburn, receiving 28 shots on goal. Weyburn made 36 shots against the Hounds.

Tendler, Wood and Eagles all scored for the Red Wings. Cody Wasik assisted on the first two goals, while Steve Pearce, Cale Louden, Greg Lasko and Tendler contributed the remaining assists.

The Wings also hosted the Yorkton Terriers for a home game last night, Dec. 2, but results are not available due to publication deadlines.

This weekend, the Red Wings have a home-and-away series with the Estevan Bruins, playing a road game on Friday, Dec. 5, and then returning to the Colosseum on Saturday, Dec. 6.

The home game starts at 7:30 p.m. This night will feature a special on-ice ceremony during the first intermission, commemorating the awarding of the 2005 Royal Bank Cup to Weyburn.

The Red Wings also play a road game in Wilcox with the Hounds on Tuesday, Dec. 9.

Mills is Player of the Week

Defenceman Tyler Mills, 19, is the second Red Wing to be named Player of the Week this season.

Mills, who hails from Forrest, Man., accumulated two goals and three assists on Nov. 18, 21 and 23, including one power play goal and one game-winning goal. That allowed the Red Wings to win two games against Estevan and Kindersley.
