SHUTOUTS FOR MASON & STEAD
The Weyburn Red Wings out-shot the Humboldt Broncos 38-22 on the road Friday night, but Bronco goalie Garrett Mason made 38 saves for his first SJHL shutout as the Broncos blanked the Red Wings 2-0.
Mason had allowed one goal on five separate occasions this season but that first shutout proved elusive until Friday when he stopped everything he faced including all 13 in the third period.
Mattieu Gomercic opened the scoring late in the second period and Luke Kempf scored the insurance marker early in the third.
Jake MacLennan made 20/22 saves for the Red Wings (16-14-1-4), while the Broncos improved to 20-15-0-1.

Kristian Stead also picked up a shutout Friday night, his third of the year and eighth career in the regular season as the Nipawin Hawks went to La Ronge and blanked the Ice Wolves 3-0.
Josh Bly was in on all three Hawks goals, scoring twice and adding one assist. Bly now has 6 points (2g-4a) in 5 game since coming over from Kinderlsey. Brett Harasymuk also scored for the Hawks (16-10-2-1).
Aaron MacKay made 34/37 saves in goal for the Ice Wolves (6-22-1-4).
