ANOTHER OT, ANOTHER W: The Saskatoon Blades won their second straight game 2-1 in overtime Tuesday at Westoba Place against the Brandon Wheat Kings. Veteran defenceman Charlie Wright scored the deciding goal 15-seconds into the extra frame, while forward Brandon Lisowsky's 25th of the year tied things up in the third. Saskatoon move up to third in the Eastern Conference with 30 wins and 64 points, only four behind the second place Red Deer Rebels.
WRIGHT ON TIME: Wright's heroics give him a career-high three goals and 28 points in 43 games this season. It's the first game-winner for the Olds, AB. native, and gives the alternate captain four points in his last five games.
ELLIOTT STANDS TALL: Rookie goalie Austin Elliott came up clutch in another overtime game with 20 saves on 21 shots. The Strathmore, AB. product earned his 17th win of the season with the victory.
NEXT GAME: The Blades drive deeper east into Manitoba for a tough matchup against the Eastern Conference's top Winnipeg ICE.
Puck drop is 7:00
