Mustangs host Red Wings for first weekday contest of the season

The Melfort Mustangs will look to grab their fourth straight victory tonight when they host the Weyburn Red Wings.

Melfort is coming off a weekend sweep over the Warman Wolverines, in which they needed nine goals over two games to collect a pair of shootout wins.

Weyburn, meanwhile, is coming off a nine-goal effort over the Yorkton Terriers, as they’ve propelled themselves to the league’s highest-scoring offence.

“Scoring nine goals in a weekend typically makes the game a little easier and less tight. The scores ended up being quite tight, but if you look at our weekend before that, when we only allowed two, now we’re just trying to combine those two facets of the game. Obviously, we probably like to do so in regulation as well, but we’ll take the two points any way we can get them,” said Mustangs defenceman Rhett Vedress.
