LAST GAME - 4-1 WIN OVER MOOSE JAW: The ICE were hoping for a fast start tonight in Moose Jaw and Mikey Milne provided just that. He opened the scoring with his 12th of the year on a great play from Peyton Krebs and Carson Lambos just 4:27 into the opening frame. The ICE would outshoot the Warriors 7-5 in the first period and take the 1-0 lead into the dressing room.

The Warriors would answer back just under halfway into the second period. Kyle Crosbie scored his fifth of the year on a two on one with Garrett Wright to tie the game up at one. The ICE answered back with two quick ones in the final five minutes of the period. Isaac Johnson would punch in a rebound with the assists going to Savoie and Milne giving Milne a two point night. Owen Pederson tipped in a Carson Lambos point shot just over a minute later to give the ICE a two goal lead heading into the third.

Owen Pederson would add another goal and this time short handed. Peyton Krebs stole the puck and found Pederson cross ice and he made no mistake to make this game 4-1 with just over three minutes to play in the third period and that's how it would end up. Liam Hughes picked up his 19th win of the season.
