The Northern Manitoba Blizzard will now focus on the week ahead after two tough outings against the Winkler Flyers and the Winnipeg Monarchs this past weekend. Even though the first period was extremely close, Friday’s game saw Winkler take control from start to finish. By the time the second period wrapped up, the score was 6–0 in favour of Winkler, and the Flyers went on to win the game 8–0.
 

In Saturday’s matchup, Winnipeg scored the lone goals in the first and second periods to give themselves a 2–0 lead heading into the final frame. Just before the halfway point of the third, Kelton Kellerman buried one to cut the deficit to a single goal. However, the Monarchs responded by firing in three unanswered goals to make the final score 5–1.

The Blizzard now face a four-game road slate this week, beginning with Swan Valley tomorrow, followed by Neepawa on Wednesday, Virden on Friday, and Steinbach on Saturday to cap off the week. 102.9 CJAR will be broadcasting tomorrow’s game, with puck drop set for 7:00 p.m.
