The Moose Jaw Warriors were unable to find the win column in Western Hockey League East Division Hub action this past week, losing all three of their match-ups.
The Warriors opened the week with another tough loss to Brandon as they dropped an 8-3 decision on Tuesday. Things were far, far better in their next outing on Thursday afternoon, but hot goaltender saw to it they'd drop 2-0 decision to the Prince Albert Raiders.
