Swan opens playoffs with 2-1 defeat to OCN.

In a game that had a little bit of everything, the Swan Valley Stampeders had chances but fell 2-1 the hometown OCN Blizzard on Saturday night.

All the scoring happened in period 1 as Kolton Baptiste would open the scoring with his 1st of playoffs to make 1-0. But just a few minutes later, Stamps captain Dylan Reimer would tie it up with 1st. But just over 13 minutes into the 1st Jack Petrino would get the Blizzard the lead for good with his 1st of playoffs to make it 2-1.

There was no goals in the final 2 frames but great chances for both sides and a very physical hockey game, with it goof over the top on occasion.

Justin McDonald stopped 28 of 29 shots for the victory while Landon Noel was outstanding stopping 42 Shots but was tagged with the loss.

Blizzard lead series 1-0, Game 2 back on Swan on Monday. Pregame show 7:20 Manitoba time on GX94.
