Steven Kesslering, here in action against Beardy's earlier this season, scored the tying goal with 20 seconds left in the game Wednesday.

Cody Davis scored the shootout winner as the Moose Jaw Generals stayed alive in their playoff hunt with a 5-4 win over the Notre Dame Argos in Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League action Wednesday.

The victory gives the Generals a 15-22-2-1 record as they remain eight points back of the Saskatoon Contacts, now with four games remaining. Two of those are against the Contacts, including Saturday (1:30 p.m., Mosaic Place) and Monday in Saskatoon.

The win over the Argos showed the local squad isn't going to go down without a fight, either – Ben Wourms-Rowe scored with 1:35 remaining in the game and Steven Kesslering then added the tying goal with 20 seconds left to send things into overtime.

Casey McDonald gave the Generals a 1-0 lead out of the first period and Wourms-Rowe made it 2-0 with a power play marker three minutes into the second. The Argos scored four straight goals from that point on, though, setting up the late-game dramatics.

Reece Hodson turned aside 34 shots, including all three Notre Dame attempts in the shootout.

In addition to Saturday's game against the Contacts, the Generals are also in action Sunday when they take on the Battlefords Stars (1:30 p.m., Mosaic Place).
