The Warman Wolverines continued their winning ways Tuesday night, while the Melfort Mustangs needed overtime to get past the Flin Flon Bombers in SJHL action.
Warman picked up its fourth straight victory with a convincing 6-2 win over the Battlefords North Stars, moving two points clear of Weyburn for top spot in the overall SJHL standings.
Trey Markus paced the Wolverines with a goal and two assists, reclaiming the league scoring lead. Owen Parks, Noah Derouin, Peyton Allard, Ashton Lee and Nate Crashley also found the back of the net.
Luke Brunen turned aside 35 shots to earn his seventh win of the season, pulling even atop the SJHL goaltender wins leaderboard. Chase Kettles made 40 saves for Battlefords, while Finlay Klippenstein and Cole Hines scored for the North Stars.
In Melfort, Lincoln Rogers played the overtime hero as the Melfort Mustangs edged the Bombers 2-1.
Rogers tipped home a Roman Maudie point shot on the power play at 4:44 of the extra frame for his first goal of the season and the first game-winner of his career.
The Mustangs forced overtime when Nolan Van Waes scored at 7:49 of the third period, erasing a lead Flin Flon had held since captain Landon Alexander scored on the power play midway through the second.
Luke McKechnie stopped 18 shots for Melfort, improving his record to 6-2 with a 1.60 goals-against average.
The SJHL schedule continues Wednesday with two games with Kindersley Klippers at Nipawin Hawks and the Weyburn Red Wings host the Yorkton Terriers.
