Blues Head Coach/GM Don Macgillivray commented on how he likes the way his team has been getting contributions from all four lines on the scoresheet. And last night in Neepawa was a perfect example of that.
Seven different Blues players lit the lamp as Winnipeg took over sole possession of first in the Addison Division with a 7-0 win over the Natives.
Dustin Pearson, Channing Bresianni, and Jared Morris all scored in the first period.
Jeremy Olynyk, David Lafleche, and Dylan Kelly answered with three of their own in the second, and Jeff Borse rounded out the scoring with a goal in the third.
Going maybe unnoticed was a solid effort in the pipes by Blues Isiah Plett who stopped all 25 shots he faced.
The Blues now lead the Winkler Flyers by two points, but the Flyers have three games in hand.
Notables
Blues
Derek Gingera had three helpers in the win. That gives him 10 points on the year.

The Blues didn't record a shutout all of last season
Natives
Neepawa is still looking for their first win of the season. Their record now falls to 0-5-1 on the year
It doesn't get any easier for Neepawa as they get set to face the Winkler Flyers and Selkirk Steelers at next weekends showcase at the MTS Ice Plex
Blues next action is also at the showcase, when they'll face the Steinbach Pistons on Thursday night, then take on the Swan Valley Stampeders on Friday night.
