The Steinbach Pistons came out firing on Friday night, putting up a 5-goal opening period then cruising to a 6-0 victory over the Neepawa Titans.

Zach Burleigh was given the start for the Pistons, the 19-year-olds first since an October 13th overtime loss to the same Titans and in the first period, he was given a boost by the offence early and often.

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings extended their point streak to nine games Friday night, as they held off the Melville Millionaires for a 1-0 win. The victory bumps the Red Wings into third place in the SJHL, and they are tied with the Millionaires for the lead in the Viterra Division. 

The game could best be described as a goaltending showcase, with Weyburn goaltender Angelo Zol turning aside 34 shots for his first SJHL shutout. At the other end, Nick Genette would stop 33 of the 34 shots he saved en route to the win.

Bragg Creek's Dylan Holloway had his first two-goal night as a St. Louis Blue in their 5-1 win over the Maple Leafs on Oct. 24.

His first came at 10:31 of the first when he found himself alone in front of the Leafs net.

"I thought, oh my God, this is great if it gets to me, and thankfully it did," said Holloway in a post-game interview.

It was linemate Brandon Saad who fed him the puck from the corner. Holloway fired the shot through the five hole on Leafs goalie Jospeh Woll to give the Blues an early 2-0 lead.

Two youngsters from the Moose Jaw Winmar AAA Warriors got the opportunity to play their first set of games in the WHL.
