Satelites lose pair on weekend, pick up point.
The Satelites lost both games over the weekend but still picked up a point as it was a shootout loss once again to Peguis on Sunday and a regulation loss to St. Malo Friday evening
Friday evening saw the Satelites get out of the gate strong but could not capitalize on their opportunities and only had a 1-0 lead after 1. The second period was all St. Malo as they scored five unanswered to build up a 5-1 lead and relieve Ryan LeClaire for the night. The 3rd period saw the Satelites battle back to make it a 5-4 game but even with a 7 minute man advantage to finish the game, they could not find the tying marker.
Sunday saw a battle for second place and the Satelites carried a 2-1 lead into the 3rd before losing in a shootout. The Satelites now have Arborg and Selkirk remaining and then will have to wait on the many scenarios to see who their first round opponent will be.
The Satelites final regular season home game is against the Arborg Ice Dawgs next Tuesday February 9th. Game time is 8:00pm.
