The Selkirk Steelers handed Winnipeg their 6th straight loss last night, downing the Blues 5-3 at the MTS Ice Plex.
And again, it was the 2nd period where things fell apart.
The Steelers would put home four goals in the period, giving themselves a five goal cushion in which the Blues just couldn't recover.
Selkirk opened the scoring with Colan Jackson scoring on the powerplay, giving the Steelers a 1-0 lead.
The floodgates would open in the 2nd for Selkirk, beginning with Craig Scott scoring his first of 2 in the period at 4:25. Two minutes and one second later the Steelers added to their lead with a powerplay goal from Shane Gingera, making it 3-0.
Scott made it 4-0 with another powerplay goal, and forty six seconds later the Joel Ridgeway made it 5-0, again on the powerplay, midway through the period.
Selkirk finished 4-6 with the man advantage on the night.
The Blues would finally get on the board a minute after Ridgeways goal, as Kaleb Ross would score his 2nd of the year, getting the puck behind Steeler netminder Joey Rewucki, making it 5-1 after two periods.
Winnipeg would get two more in the third, with Paul Bonar and Adam Stoykewych both finding the back of the net, but Rewucki was the difference, making 19 of his 46 saves in the final frame for the win.
With the loss, the Blues have now lost 7 in a row, and their record now falls to 5-12-2-4 on the year. Selkirk improved their league best record to 16-5-0-3 and are first in both the Addison Division and League standings.
The Blues will head to Waywayseecappo to face the Wolverines on Saturday night, and head back home to face Steinbach Pistons on Sunday.
