Brady Birnie and Owen Pickering gathered assists on the goal.

The Swift Current Broncos (9-11-0-0) racked up plenty of scoring chances against the Moose Jaw Warriors (13-8-0-0) Saturday night, but couldn’t solve Connor Ungar who turned in a 33-save shutout as the Broncos fell 6-0.

The Warriors jumped ahead early while shorthanded. Ryder Korczak fanned on his shot while on a shorthanded breakaway, but recovered the loose puck on the goal line and fed Brayden Yager in the slot who tapped it into the open net 3:25 into the first period.

The Swift Current Broncos (9-10-0-0) clawed their way back from a 5-1 deficit in the third period, but came up one goal short in a 5-4 loss to the Moose Jaw Warriors (12-8-0-0) Friday night.

After getting through an early penalty kill the Broncos gave up the first goal of the game. Moose Jaw’s captain Denton Mateychuk took a pass at the left point before spotting Jagger Firkus in the slot and feeding him the puck.

The Swift Current Broncos (8-9-0-0) got a stellar performance by Reid Dyck Saturday night, but Lethbridge Hurricanes (10-8-0-1) goaltender Harrison Meneghin was one better, turning aside 31 shots in a 2-1 Lethbridge win.
