The Rosetown Redwings moved to 4-0 with a 4-2 home-ice victory over the Kindersley Kodiaks on Nov. 15 after a 5-2 win over the Dodsland Stars in Kerrobert the night before.

The Redwings have a bit of a layoff until Dec. 6 when they host the Kerrobert Tigers.

“The last couple of games have been pretty good. Everyone’s playing strong,” said Redwing head coach Curtis MacDonald.

As well, no players are out of the lineup due to injuries.

Against the Kodiaks, the Redwings led 2-0 after the first and second periods.

Kane Dubé, Jeff Hill, Mitchel Robbie and, into an empty net, Corbin Hogan scored Redwing goals.

Dylan Francis got both Kodiak goals, the second on a power play.

Noah Martens made 23 saves in the Rosetown net.

Kodiak goalie Ryan Deck blocked 24 Redwing drives.

Having “a full roster” - 18 skaters - in Kerrobert made “a huge difference,” said MacDonald.

Jared Jagow scored two goals and Jordan Johnston had two goals and an assist. Kayden Ostrom also tallied.

The Redwings, who outshot the Stars 35-27, trailed 1-0 after the first period and then scored five times to one for Dodsland in the second.

Martens made 25 saves and Stars counterpart Kyle Turk stopped 30 shots.

Carson Dobson scored both of their goals.

Too players expected to be away for various reasons on this next weekend led to a change in the schedule so that they wouldn’t have to cancel a game, said MacDonald.
