COMPLETE BOX SCORE

Winnipeg carried a 1-0 lead after the first period where Pederson fed a cross crease pass to Sward who tapped into the empty cage to put the ICE up early.

The Raiders managed to tie it up in just three minutes into the second with Tansem connecting with Anderson for his 14^th of the campaign.

Later in the period, tempers began to boil over as multiple fights would break out over the span of less than three minutes. Multiple ten minute misconducts were issued to either team along with a handful of minor penalties for either team. Almost immediately after the scraps, Pederson scored twice for Winnipeg as the ICE then held a 3-1 lead heading into the third.

Zloty scored in the third for the ICE while Ostapchuk added two of his own as Winnipeg downed PA 6-1.

The Raiders are back on home ice for the final time this season on Friday night when they host the Moose Jaw Warriors. Puck drop is slated for 7pm.
