Mustangs grab three of four points on Southern Swing

The Melfort Mustangs flipped the switch Saturday night in Weyburn, taking down the Red Wings 3-2.

It was a big response for a Mustangs group that didn’t have their best the previous night in Estevan, when they fell to the Bruins 4-3 in overtime.

“Our start was unreal; we came out with a lot of jam, we kept the puck at their end, we were physical, and we were hard on pucks. After that, there were some ebbs and flows in the game as we kind of traded momentum, but we kept doing a great job of getting back to what made us successful,” explained assistant coach Clarke Huxley.

“Games like these are ones you gotta learn how to win; playoff style games. It was back and forth, and obviously they’re a good team that we knew was gonna push back. We did a good job weathering the storm, and we held it out in the end.”
