How did the Saskatoon Blades win?

The Blades secured a 3-2 victory over the Moose Jaw Warriors at SaskTel Centre on Saturday night. Although Saskatoon dominated the shot count, finishing with 64 shots to Moose Jaw's 23, they struggled to find the net for much of the game.

  • Isaac Poll opened the scoring for the Blades in the first period.
  • Ben Bowtell added a power-play goal to extend the lead.
