WINNIPEG M.B. - The Winnipeg Ice storm back to defeat the Brandon Wheat Kings 4-3 Saturday night.

The Wheat Kings and Ice traded scoring chances in the first period but goaltenders Daniel Hauser and Carson Bjarnason stood tall to keep it scoreless after 20.

The Wheat Kings would start the third period off with a pair of goals, one from Charlie Elick would fired a slap shot from the top of the right circle to tie it up at two, then Rylen Roersma would collect the puck feeding Zakhar Polshakov allowing Polshkov to score his first of the season off the rush to restore the lead for the Brandon Wheat Kings. The Ice would tie it up with Ty Nash taking off finding Zach Benson allowing Benson to score his 7th of the year. Then after Brett Hyland took a penalty late Connor McClennan would place slap shot through traffic and through Carson Bjarnason to give the Winnipeg Ice a 4-3 lead.
