Red Wings make history, top Bombers in overtime

An overtime goal by Max Chakrabarti with 1:29 remaining in the extra period gave the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings their 1700th win in franchise history, as they defeated the Flin Flon Bombers 3-2 Friday night at Crescent Point Place. 

"Betty (captain Blake Betson) gave me a nice pass with lots of space going downhill, and I kind of just made a little move and let it rip," Chakrabarti said of the goal after the game. "Luckily it went in and got the game winner, so that's nice."

“I was feeling great,” Matonovich said after the game. “I saw every shot, and D played great, the boys played great, and we outscored them. That’s all you can ask for at that point.”

Jadon Iyogun would open the scoring in the first period for Melville, as he beat Angelo Zol with 5:04 remaining in the first period. The first would see the Red Wings manage just five shots on goal, while Melville had 15.
