MOOSE JAW, Sask. - After a valiant comeback effort fell just short in overtime against the Brandon Wheat Kings on Tuesday night, the Warriors are on the hunt to get back in the win column.
Finding themselves down by three goals with just over 15 minutes remaining in the third period, the Warriors landed on the power play, and Casey Brown notched a power play goal to get the Warriors on the board. Riley Thorpe brought the Warriors within one goal less than four minutes later, and William Degagne tied the game with under six minutes to play in the third period. The Warriors battled but eventually fell in overtime.

Landen McFadden tallied two goals and three points, Pavel McKenzie notched a goal and three points, Aiden Ziprick recorded a goal and two points, and Connor Schmidt registered a goal. Kyle Jones made 32 saves on 36 shots.
