The Melfort Mustangs return home from a two game southern road swing with just a single point after falling to the Kindersley Klippers 3-2 in a shootout on Saturday.
The loss came one day after a 6-2 loss at the hands of the Battlefords North Stars.
In the first period each team had a couple of scoring chances, but neither team really took charge. The shot clock showed that as it was 9-9 after one.
In the second, the Klippers jumped out to a quick start. Liam Fraser scored his 24th of the year just over a minute into the period, while Jaxon Georget made it 2-0 a minute and a half later. However, the Mustangs came back hard at the 7:48 mark of the period, Alex Rondeau drove to the net and fired a sharp angle shot where the rebound was wacked in by Marco Lopez to bring the visiting Mustangs back within one. The remaining half of the second was back and forth with both teams getting some chances, but neither putting another one on the scoreboard.
