Moose Jaw, SK – The Saskatoon Blades dispatched the Warriors 3-0 in their Moose Jaw mosey on Friday evening, with Nolan Maier earning his first shutout of the season in his return from an injury that saw him miss the past nine games.

The Blades move to 7-2-1-0 in their past 10 played with the win, and have now shut-out the Warriors in each of the last two meetings between the clubs. Saskatoon now lead the season series against their East Division rival 2-0-1-0.

Riley McKay (15,16) scored twice to give the Blades’ a two-nothing lead before Tristen Robins (23) added insurance late in the third to put the result beyond doubt.
