With just 4 games remaining in regular season the Huskies need just a single victory to clinch the top seed, home ice advantage through the playoffs and the 1st round bye.

Huskies Highlights and Weekend Recap
The Huskies' magic number is down to three, after a win and a loss this past weekend. In layman's terms the Huskies need just 3 wins in their final 6 to clinch first place in the NWJHL and the all important bye that is awarded to the team with the best record in the league.
Friday the Dogs beat the Beaver Lodge Blades 7-5 with Bryce Novak racking up 6 assists in the win. Chris Jenkins was shaky in net to start the contest but stood tall when the game was on the line.
Saturday was a stiffer test against the Peace Air Navigators, a match up featuring the highest scoring team in the league in the Huskies and the stingiest D in the league that is the Peace Air Navigators. Special teams were a huge part of the game as the Huskies went 0/9 with the extra attacker while Peace River clicked for 3 PPG (though the official score sheet recorded just two). The final was 5-3 for the home town Navigators as they finally beat the Huskies in their 5th try.
Click here for a recap and game highlights (DO IT)!
Next up for the Huskies is a trip to Sexsmith on Friday (live on Moose FM), and then a chance for revenge against the Navigators as they visit the NPA on Saturday.
Sunday is the NWJHL ALL-STAR game in Fort St. John. It will be interesting to see if the top trio of Novak Horst and (Jeff) Shipton will all attend, all three are in the top 4 in points and goals scored in league play.

Blowouts Highlight Huskies' Superiority
22-4.
No, not Daniel Pappin from Andrew Payou. That's the cumulative score from Friday and Saturday's games at the North Peace Arena... In favour of the hometown Huskies, of course.
The 1st place sled-dogs made a statement this weekend with their 11-1 victory over the Beaver Lodge Blades and 11-3 win against the Slave Lake Wolves. The Huskies outshot their opponents 66-15 and 66-29, showcasing the talent gap between the top and bottom of the NWJHL Standings.
The Huskies now have a 14 point bulge on second place in the NWJHL, are undefeated in 15 games at home and have just a solitary loss in their past 14 contests.
With 8 games left in the regular season the Huskies are without question the class of the Northwest Junior Hockey League.

Next action for the Huskies is a pair of games against cellar dwellers Beaver Lodge and Slave Lake this Friday and Saturday at the North Peace Arena in Fort St. John. Puck Drop for both games is 8 bells!
