Forwards Egor Sidorov, Brandon Lisowsky, and Lukas Hansen all scored to lift the Blades to their eighth consecutive win. Hansen potted the game-winning goal just over halfway through the third period to improve Canada's top ranked team to 39-9-2-3. The Winnipeg, MB product has 11 goals and 21 points in 44 games this season.

Sophomore netminder Austin Elliott was a major reason the Blue and Gold only surrendered two goals, stopping 24-of-26 shots, many high-danger chances. The Strathmore, AB product picked up his 50th career WHL win in the performance and boosted his record this season to 24-4-2-1.
