The Muskie boys’ hockey team opened a stretch of four games in five nights with a pair of wins—over the Dryden Eagles and then the Red Lake Falls Eagles—on the weekend at the Ice for Kids Arena.
The black-and-gold dominated every facet of the game Friday night en route to a 3-0 win over the Dryden Eagles.
Matt Hebert provided all the scoring the Muskies would need, hammering a rebound past Eagles’ goalie Curtis Lambkin in the first period.
George Halverson scored his team-leading 26th goal of the season while Matt DePiero notched his fourth tally of the campaign to round out the scoring.
David Moen earned the shutout in goal.
The Muskies then followed up Friday night’s win with another solid effort here Saturday afternoon, doubling the Red Lake Falls Eagles 4-2 in exhibition action.
Hebert once again opened the scoring for the Muskies.
Red Lake Falls took the lead with a pair of markers, but late goals from Brian Glavish and Mitch Green gave the black-and-gold a 3-2 advantage after one period.
Taylor Jorgenson rounded out the scoring with his 17th goal of the season in the second period.
Rich Wieringa got the win between the pipes.
In other Muskie hockey action, the girls’ squad rallied from an early two-goal deficit to earn a 4-2 victory over the Silver Bay Mariners in exhibition action at the Ice for Kids Arena on Saturday night.
Miranda Kellar, Lauren Krukoski, Kailey Curtis, and Carly Holt each tallied for the black-and-gold while Sara Trendiak shone between the pipes.
Both the boys’ and girls’ teams are back in action tonight when they travel across the river to meet the Falls Broncos.
The girls take to the ice at 5:30 p.m., followed by the boys at 7:30 p.m.
