FLIGHT PATH | Warriors looking for win over Wheat Kings

MOOSE JAW, Sask. – The Moose Jaw Warriors return to the Temple Gardens Centre tonight, looking to get back in the win column following a narrow 4-2 decision last night to the Swift Current Broncos.

Landen McFadden and Jan Trefny tallied a goal each for the Warriors. In net, Jordan Switzer made 32 saves on 36 shots. The Warriors went five for five on the penalty kill and zero for three on the power play. 

Gage Nagel continues to lead the Squadron with three goals. Landen McFadden and Kash Andresen rank second with a goal and three points each. Colt Carter ranks fourth with two goals, and Mathieu Lajoie rounds out the team’s top five with a goal and two points. 

Last night, Nolan Paquette appeared in his 99th career WHL game. If rostered for the game tonight, that would mark Paquette’s 100th career game. 

The Brandon Wheat Kings come into tonight’s game after notching a shootout win over the Regina Pats at home last night. Ilari Kapanen leads the Wheat Kings with two goals and four points, Chase Surkan ranks second with one goal and three points, and Kris Muissu lands third with a goal and two points.

Puck drop for the game is scheduled for 6 pm. Tickets for the game can be purchased here. Follow the action with James Gallo, or watch for free on the WHL’s YouTube channel.
