The Swan Valley Stampeders picked up their first win of the MJHL preseason Tuesday night, beating the Waywayseecappo Wolverines 4-2 in Swan River.
The teams traded goals in the opening period, with Max Dawson putting the Wolverines ahead before Hunter Toth tied it just over two minutes later on a breakaway.
Swan Valley took control in the second, getting goals from Swan River product Dayson Martin and veteran Dylan Ruff just 1:40 apart to take a 3-1 lead.
Mikey Thomas pulled Waywayseecappo within one early in the third on the power play, but Ryder Woods restored the Stampeders’ two-goal lead with just over four minutes to play.
The Wolverines outshot Swan Valley 34-26, while both teams went 0-for-5 on the power play.
The Stampeders visit the Northern Manitoba Blizzard Friday, while Waywayseecappo travels to Dauphin to face the Kings.
