Willmar routs Prairie Centre
SAUK CENTRE -- Seven different players scored as the Willmar Cardinals cut down Prairie Centre 7-1 in non-conference boys hockey on Friday night.
The win gives the Cardinals their first three-game win streak of the season with the undefeated Little Falls Flyers coming to the Civic Center on Tuesday.
"Everybody was kind of rolling along and that's good coming into seeding," said Willmar coach Dan Tollefson. "It should help our cause."

Willmar's Jake Tone scored unassisted on a power play for the only goal of the first 17-minute frame.
