Looking ahead

With the win, the Mustangs exit with a 3-4-2 record in the month of January.

Arnold’s happy to leave January again, as last season’s Mustangs also had a rougher go in the same month with a 2-6-2 record.

“Every team goes through slumps,” he said. “We were in a slump but this win helped us and we’re just coming out of it. We’re going to roll from here on out. I know it.”

The Mustangs sit fourth in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) standings with 54 points (24-15-3-3) in 45 games. They’re ahead of their division rival and the fifth-place Nipawin Hawks by one point with a game in hand, and trail the third-place Yorkton Terriers by two points with two games in hand.

The Mustangs host the eighth-place Estevan Bruins at Northern Lights Palace on Saturday, Feb. 1 at 7:30 p.m.
