Wins remain hard to come by for the Yorkton RawTec Maulers.

Saturday the Maulers hosted the Saskatoon Blazers.

The visitors scored 13 seconds into the game on a goal by Max Gudnason, but a powerplay effort by Justin Broekel would tie the score.

The Blazers would get a powerplay goal of their own with 4:10 left in the first to lead 2-1 after 20 minutes of play.

The second period would see the teams’ trade single markers: Alex Saretzky for Saskatoon and Carter Dereniwsky with a powerplay effort for Yorkton.

The third would have only one goal scored, a powerplay effort by Josh Nagy for Saskatoon, rounding out a 4-2 Blazers win.

Aiden Elmy was in the Mauler nets where he faced 27 shots in the loss, while Brett Mirwald had the win for Saskatoon facing 26.

Sunday the teams went back at it.

The Blazers scored three unanswered goals in the first period, with Nolan Flamand,  Josh Nagy, and Rhett Gibson popping the goals.

The second period was a mirror-image of the first, with Max Gudnason scoring twice and Gibson getting his second of the game as well to extend the Blazers lead to 6-0.

Justin Broekel would spoil Matthew Presenti’s bid for a shut out with a powerplay goal for the Maulers with 3:06 left in the game to make it a 6-1 final.

Kael DePape took the loss in the Mauler net facing 39-shots.

The losses leave the Maulers with a record of 1-11 and two points, last among the 12 teams in the Saskatchewan AAA Midget Hockey League.

The Blazers lead the league with a 10-1-1 record for 21 points.
