Neither team could score in the first but the ice was finally broken in the second. Thomas Wright gave the puck to Walker Jerome who connected with Ethan Strik to put the Wolves up by one going into the third.

The Battlefords managed to get on the board with a Nikolas Smolinski marker. Ryan Taylor and Keiton Klein each collected assists on the play.

La Ronge needed just 30 seconds to take the win, where Trenton Curtis found Ryley Morgan who scored the game-winner to ice it for the Wolves.

The Ice Wolves are back at home on Saturday afternoon to wrap-up the back-to-back weekend where the Yorkton Terriers will visit the Meg Hegland Uniplex. Puck drop is slated for 2:30.
