It was win or go home on Tuesday night for the Moose Jaw Warriors, as they needed a win against the Drummondville Voltigeurs to advance to the Memorial Cup semifinals.
And it would be a promising start for the Warriors.
A nice play at 13:04 of the first period that involved some tic-tac-toe passing from Lynden Lakovic to Atley Calvert to Vojtech Port, resulted in a 1-0 lead for Moose Jaw.
In the second period at the 5:10 mark, on the man advantage, Moose Jaw’s Brayden Yager would find Jagger Firkus for a one-timer goal.
Then Denton Mateychuk would make it 3-0 Warriors at 12:43 of the second by corralling a loose puck in front and putting it home.
But the Voltigeurs were not going away.
At the 14:46 mark, Luke Woodworth would find Justin Cote on a cross-ice feed to make it 3-1.
Then at 15:43 Peter Repcik would beat Jackson Unger from the left faceoff dot.
