WEYBURN - The Weyburn Red Wings continued their point streak on Saturday night, blanking the Estevan Bruins 3-0 in the first of the Highway 39 Cup series of the season.
The win brings the Red Wings to a 13-game point streak so far this season, and also starts the Highway 39 Cup on a positive note. This season, there will be eight meetings between the rivals in the series, and the next one will be in Estevan on Nov. 30.
Turner McIntyre was the first Wing on the board with a goal in the first period, which also triggered the teddy bear toss, and the game was halted long enough to collect up all the donated bears for the Salvation Army.
He was assisted by Ethan Dekay and Max Chakrabarti, who then scored in the third period, assisted by Jerome Maharaj and Dekay, and Braigh LeGrandeur scored the third goal, unassisted, to seal the win.
Dazza Mitchell got the shutout for the Red Wings, stopping all 20 shots on net.
Weyburn is hosting the Melville Millionaires for an afternoon game at Crescent Point Place, starting at 4 p.m.
This weekend, the Red Wings will host the Battleford North Stars for back-to-back games on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 15-16, at 7 p.m. each night.
