Mustangs collapse against Ice Wolves; La Ronge stays alive
The Melfort Mustangs had their first-round playoff matchup locked in…and then they didn’t.
Melfort led the La Ronge Ice Wolves 5-3 at the Northern Lights Palace Wednesday night with just over five minutes left in the third period.
In the last five minutes, La Ronge scored four times, en route to a 7-5 victory, officially extending their shot at a playoff spot.
Last night’s contest was fairly low-scoring in the first half, as Mustangs’ forward Tristin Ziola had the only goal in the opening 28 minutes.
