The Winnipeg Blues picked up their fourth straight win last night, dropping the Steinbach Pistons 5-2 in the last meeting between the two clubs this season.
Winnipeg picked up wins in eight of the nine meetings against Steinbach this season.
Five different scorers found the back of the net for the Blues, with Jeff Borse, Derek Gingera, Dylan Kelly, Dustin Pearson, and Blair Osiowy all notching singles.
Defenseman Paul Bonar had a great night on the back end for Winnipeg, adding three helpers in the win.
The score could have been much closer, if not more in favor of the Pistons, if it wasn't for the strong play of Blues netminder Byron Spriggs, who stopped 41 of 43 shots he faced in the game.
That included 18 stops in the second period after the Pistons outshot Winnipeg 20-10 in the frame.
With the win, and the fact both Portage and Winkler lost their last game, the Blues are now just two points out of first in the Addison Divison behind the Terriers, though Portage still holds two games in hand.
Three points now separate the second place Blues from third place Flyers, with Winkler also holding two games in hand.
This sets up a huge game Friday night as Winnipeg hosts the Terriers at the Ice Plex. In the six games between the clubs, both teams have each won three.
Puck drop is set for 7:30
