Both teams will be looking to bounce back from losses to open the weekend after the Warriors fell 7-3 to the Lethbridge Hurricanes, while the Tigers dropped a 4-2 game at home to Edmonton.

Moose Jaw, SK – The Moose Jaw Warriors’ struggles in the third period continued Friday night.

The Warriors went into the third period tied at 2-2 with the Lethbridge Hurricanes, but Lethbridge struck for five goals in the frame and beat Moose Jaw, 7-3, at the Moose Jaw Events Centre.

“The third period starts off and we give up two goals in the first 40 seconds and that’s just a matter of not being ready to go after the intermission, so no excuse there, we need to find ways to be better,” Warriors associate coach Scott King said.

Despite giving up a late goal to tie the game, the Steinbach Pistons stuck with their plan and eventually pulled out a 4-3 overtime win thanks to big saves by Christian Green and an elite shot by Ty Paisley.

In the opening minutes, Steinbach was quick to pucks, strong along the boards and controlled play but a pair of penalties but the Pistons down 5 on 3.
