Huskies thump Griffins again to sweep season series
The Huskies men’s hockey team is still undefeated in 2024 after beating the MacEwan Griffins 7-2 on Saturday for their fourth straight win coming out of the holiday break.
Saskatchewan’s third consecutive blowout victory secured a sweep of both the weekend series in Edmonton and the four-game season series against the Griffins. The Dogs outscored MacEwan 25-5 over the four games and 17-2 this weekend thanks to a 10-0 win one night earlier.
Third-year forward Chantz Petruic led the way on this night with a goal and four assists for his first five-point game since the 2019-20 season, when the then-Yorkton Terrier led the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League with 109 points en route to being named the league’s most valuable player.
Cole Jordan got the scoring started less than five minutes in, walking into the slot and wiring a wrist shot past Griffins netminder Ashton Abel, who was pulled on Friday after allowing the first five Huskies goals.
