Pipes' nets 22 save shutout in debut to lead Stamps to 2-0 home ice win over Dauphin



The Swan Valley Stampeders remained perfect on home ice and improved their record to 13-2-1-1 on the season on Wednesday after blanking the Dauphin Kings 2-0 at the Centennial Arena in Swan River.

The Stampeders dominated most of the opening period and were rewarded for their efforts with a late goal as Quintin Sudom's long point shot would beat a screened Kings' net minder for his 10th of the season to give Swan a 1-0 lead after 1. Brad Goethals and Matt Osadick, who extended his point streak to 14 games, had the helpers on the Stampeders' opening goal.

After a scoreless 2nd, the only goal in the 3rd would come off the stick of 18 year old Matt Osadick as with just under a minute left he would find the empty net to ice the game to give the Stamps their 13th win of the season.

After being picked up from the SJHL's La Ronge Ice Wolves earlier in the day, 20 year old Merek Pipes (pictured above) earned a 22 save shutout in his debut in a Stamps' uniform while Brennan Kitchen on the other side was once again outstanding for Dauphin stopping 34 of 35 in the losing cause.

The Stamps will have a couple games this weekend starting on Friday night hosting former Stampeder Noah Basarab and the Selkirk Steelers before visiting the Neepawa Natives on Saturday night. 

The Kings' next game will be tomorrow (Fri) when they host the Steinbach Pistons.

Terriers' 2 game win streak snapped after road loss in Estevan

The Yorkton Terriers had their 2 game win streak come to an end on Tuesday night as they fell for the 2nd time in Estevan this season, this time a 4-1 decision to the Bruins

The Bruins would strike with the opening marker of the game as Michael McChesney would take a nice feed in the slot from Jayden Davis and snipe home his 11th of the year past Ryan Ouelette to give his club the 1-0 lead after 20 minutes. Shots after the 1st were 16-10 in favour of the Terriers.

The home team would add to their lead just 83 seconds into the 2nd period as TJ Irey would capitalize on a rebound and hammer home his 10th of the season to make it 2-0. The Bruins' two goal lead would stay until the 15:55 mark of the middle frame thats when Mason Mullaney would receive a nice back-door pass from Dino Antoniadis and it was an easy tap-in for Mullaney past Jake Anthony for his 2nd to cut their deficit to just one at 2-1 after 40 minutes.

But thats as close as the Terriers would get on this night as the Bruins would add two more goals early on in the 3rd just 50 seconds apart off the sticks of Bryce Platt and Turner Ripplinger to add some insurance and help them to their 11th victory of the season

Jake Anthony was solid in the Bruins' net making 43 saves in the win while Ryan Ouelette turned aside 41 shots in the loss.

With the win the Terriers dropped to 2nd in the Viterra division, one point back of the Bruins.

The Terriers will continue their stretch of road games on Friday night when they visit the Humboldt Broncos. Puck drop is at 7:30. The Bruins' next game will be on Friday night in the Battlefords.
