In Brandon, sophomore LW Curtis Hamilton scored his second goal of the season at 4:51 of the third period to break a 2-2 tie and help the Saskatoon Blades to a 4-2 victory over the Blades. . . . Hamilton, the son of Kelowna Rockets GM Bruce Hamilton, also had an assist and was plus-3. . . . C Chris Langkow of the Blades had a goal and two assists and was plus-4 as the Blades (4-4-0-0) won their third straight. . . . Brandon (3-4-0-0) lost for the fourth time in five games. . . . Saskatoon was outshot 10-3 in the third period but scored twice to break the 2-2 tie. . . . G James Priestner stopped 18 shots for Brandon. He was playing his first game with the Wheat Kings since being acquired last week from the Kamloops Blazers. “That’s the first game I’ve played in six, seven months,” Priestner told Rob Henderson of the Brandon Sun. “. . . You’ve got to get the rust off a little bit. I thought I played pretty well. I’ll have to look at the goals on video to see what one maybe I’d want back. I don’t know what happened on that fourth one . . . I’ve got to keep playing and get some consistency and rhythm in my game. It’ll come, I’m not worried about that. I know I can play.”
