Blizzard 4 - Flyers 2

OCN salutes their fans after a 4-2 win over the Winkler Flyers

Winkler deserved a better fate tonight but Alex Henry won the game for the OCN Blizzard.

The young Blizzard goal tender stood on his head numerous times tonight and bailed OCN out at every key point of the game.

OCN looked sluggish and tired tonight, very different from the club that beat Winnipeg.

Sometimes after a big emotional game like that it's tough to get up for a game against a team like Winkler.

But good teams find ways to win even when playing poorly and OCN did just that tonight.

OCN was out shot, out played and out chanced tonight by the Flyers who suffered their 8th loss in a row and will have a long drive back to the Pembina Valley tonight.

TJ Constant had another 3 point game tonight with one goal and two assists. He and Waskewitch look great together, instant chemistry along with Grove.

Thomas Ward-Cardinal picked up another PP marker this evening with family in the stands.

The Blizzard have now won four in a row.

Here is the scoring summary from tonight.
