Lamb Turns In Shutout Performance In Weyburn
The Humboldt Broncos went into Weyburn and out-shot the Red Wings 36-21 on Friday, but Riley Lamb turned away all 36 to pick up his first SJHL shutout, as the Wings blanked the Broncos 2-0.
Lamb is now 4-1 on the season with a 2.07 GAA and .953% to go along with the shutout. It gets better in his last two games, where he’s stopped 92 of the last 93 shots he’s faced (.989%).
Sean Olson (1g-1a) and Jordan Kazymyra scored for the Red Wings (5-2-0-0), who now sit alone in top spot in the Viterra Division.
The Broncos (6-3-1-0) are still first in the Global Ag Risk Solutions Division but saw their streak of seven straight games with at least a point (6-0-1) come to an end. Dane Dow made 19/20 saves on Friday. Humboldt continues on to Estevan on Saturday.
