The Moose Jaw Generals got another important win by defeating the Yorkton Maulers 4-1 in Saskatchewan Midget AAA action on Saturday at Mosaic Place. However, the Generals still remain eight points out of the final playoff spot, as the Saskatoon Contacts also won on Saturday, defeating Swift Current 5-2.
Moose Jaw's Cody Davis opened the scoring in the first before Yorkton's Carter Dereniwsky tied it up in the second. But that is as close as the Maulers would get, as the Generals would go on to score three unanswered goals to cruise to victory. Steve Kesslering, Brendan Kemp, and Evan Sare had the other Moose Jaw goals.
Goalie Reece Hodson made 31 saves in the victory, while Yorkton's Aiden Elmy stopped 48 of 52.
Next up for the Generals is a road game against the Regina Pat Canadians on Feb. 6.
