Minnesota Wilderness News Release
The Minnesota Wilderness put their first 3-game winning streak of the 2024-25 season to the test this weekend with a 3-game series in Anchorage.
The Wolverines are also riding high, having won their last five contests.
Anchorage extended its streak last weekend with a 2-game home sweep of the Chippewa Steel. The Wolverines were victorious Friday, Nov. 1, 5-4, in a shootout and then won in regulation Saturday, 4-1.
The Wilderness finished a 4-point weekend by beating Kenai River twice, 6-3 and 5-2. Minnesota now has at least one point in four straight road games (3-0-1).
Ferry Netusil shined in the Kenai River sweep with four points-three goals in the Friday contest, followed by one assist Saturday. His effort earned him last week's Bauer Midwest Division Star of the Week award.
All games this weekend will be played at the Sullivan Arena in Anchorage. Friday and Saturday night's contests begin at 7:30 p.m. AKST, while Sunday's game begins at 4:00 p.m. AKST.
