The Nipawin Hawks fell early in Warman on Saturday, bounced back to force a tie late, but eventually lost 4-3 in overtime to the Wolverines.

Riding a two-game winning streak and looking to cap a perfect week Saturday, the Hawks found themselves down 3-0 after the second period at the Warman Home Centre Communiplex during Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) action.

After allowing goals in the middle frame, Nipawin showed no quit and got goals from Jack Janzen, Carter Cole, and Mason Lowther tying the game at 3-3 and forcing overtime before Owen parks won it for Warman. Hawks’ Head Coach Tad Kozun was proud of the resiliency of his group but wasn’t keen on the start.

“I didn’t like our game rally at all,” Kozun said on the postgame show of Nipawin Chrysler Dodge Hawks Hockey on 750 Beach Radio. “I think we are pretty lucky to get a point here tonight. We just needed a little more from everyone.”

Janzen’s fifth of the season was scored shorthanded, the Hawks first goal of the season down a man. Cole’s second of the campaign was scored while netminder Connor Johnson was on the bench for an extra attacker with just over a minute left. Lowther’s fifth was also scored with an empty net with just 39 seconds remaining. Kozun said he was proud of the way his team battled in the third period and late.

“Kudos to the guys for battling and finding a way, they could have easily could have rolled over and said tonight’s not our night. Obviously the first two periods weren’t good at all. We get a big shorthanded goal from Janny [Janzen] and kill off a major penalty and that gave us life. Again, kudos to the guys,” Kozun added.

With the point for the overtime loss the Hawks collected five of a possible six points on the week and will now have six days off before they host Yorkton on Friday at the Centennial Arena.
