The Winnipeg Blues picked up their 4th win in five games, and third against Selkirk so far this season, after dropping the Steelers 6-4 at the MTS Ice Plex.
The win improves the Blues record to 4-1-0 on the season, and drops the Steelers to 1-3-0.
Winnipeg had a pair of first period goals. Jeff Borse and Dustin Pearson both notched their first of the season, while Parker Thomas had the only reply for the Steelers in the opening frame.
In the second, the Blues dominated, scoring four times. Connor Cleverley had a pair, while Derek Gingera and Blair Osiowy each added singles, giving Winnipeg a 6-1 lead heading into the third.
Selkirk came out and won the third period, as Winnipeg did everything they could to let Selkirk back in the game, and Selkirk capitalized with three goals, David Conrad with two, and Thomas with his second of the night, but it wasn't enough as Winnipeg held on for a 6-4 win.
