Going into last Friday’s game, the Redwings had a 5-0 record to lead the six-team Cross Roads Hockey League, having picked up another win on the previous weekend.

The Stars were at 4-1 for second, followed by the Unity Miners, at 3-2; the Kodiaks at 2-5; the Kerrobert Tigers at 1-3 and the Luseland Mallards, 0-4.

Despite being down 2-0 after the first period, the Redwings didn’t have a problem with the Kerrobert Tigers here on Dec. 6.

In the second period, Jordan Johnston got the home team on the scoreboard shortly before the six-minute mark.

Then Jared Jagow scored four consecutive goals to give the Redwings a 5-2 lead after two stanzas.

Johnston, Cam MacDonald, Avery Ironside and Cole Lewis - back in the lineup for the first time after a suspension from last season - got the remaining markers.

Johnston had five assists.

Noah Martens made 34 saves in the Rosetown net.

Preston Plamondon, after playing above his pay grade in the first period, as one spectator put it, stopped 31 Redwing shots.

Lucas Richmond and Avery Cholin got the Tiger goals.
