Melfort downs the Kindersley Klippers
The Melfort Mustangs had eight players record points on Wednesday night as they downed the visiting Kindersley Klippers 3-2 in Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) action.
The teams were tied at zero after one period of play, with Kindersley outshooting Melfort 8-3. But, the Mustangs would claw back in the second period, scoring just 48 seconds in when Kayle Tosh buried a great feed from Jake Hobson. It was Tosh’s third goal of the season, giving him 21 points.
The Mustangs kept on pressing in the middle frame, scoring about nine minutes in when Colin Schmidt cut across the crease, and tucked the puck by Klippers goalie Justen Close to make it 2-0. That was followed by a breakaway goal from Chase Anderson when he was released from the box after serving a Schmidt penalty. The Mustangs ended the second frame with a 3-0 lead.
Mustangs Head Coach Trevor Blevins said the team struggled in the first period with Kindersley’s forcheck, but responded great in the second.
