In the first game action for the 2 clubs this pre season, the Blues and Saints squared off at the MTS Iceplex before a pretty good crowd.
The Blues came out with their first shift banging anything with skates on, but the Saints were the ones who struck first on the scoreboard just 2 minutes in when Matt Hannibal tee'd one up from the point and found it's way under the arm of Blues netminder Benn Plitt to open the scoring.
The Blues answered with a pretty 2 on 1 midway through the first when Liam Bilton fed a perfect pass to Tarren Jones who made no mistake and tied the game up at one.
That was short lived as Shane Gingera would get his first of 3 on the night just 21 seconds later, and the Saints would begin to run away with it after that.
Three goals in 1:25 second span of the second put the Saints up 6-1, and when the smoke cleared at the end of the night, the Saints skated away with a 10-2 win.
Both teams used 3 different goalies in the game, all playing a period.
These 2 teams will meet again on Friday night.
Next action for the Blues is this coming Thursday when they'll welcome the Selkirk Steelers. Puck drop is set for 7:30.
In other exhibition action, the Dauphin Kings beat Swan Valley 5-2.
