Willmar 3, Breezy Point 2
The Willmar WarHawks responded to a challenge from head coach Chris Blaisuis to play a better first period and they did just that, outscoring Breezy Point 1-0 in the opening period before winning 3-2.
Kyle Wendorf got the game started with a power play goal with assists from Dylan Gast and Kane Toriumi and the WarHawks as a whole came out firing with 22 shots in the first period. Breezy Point's Bronson Moore was able to turn away all but Wendorf's goal in that period.
The North Stars tied it up with a Nick Blanchette goal 5:09 into the second period and that was the score going into the final frame.
Braden Shea helped the WarHawks take the lead with a goal just 1:05 into the third period and Kane Toriumi put the game out of reach with his own power play goal at 12:22.
Blanchette earned a late penalty shot with just more than a minute to play and he converted but it was too late as the WarHawks skated away with three points.
The Warhawks now sit seven points back of a playoff spot.
