Last week brought some unexpected time off for the Arborg Ice Dawgs.
Due to ice issues at Arborg & District Arena, the Ice Dawgs’ Friday night game against the Selkirk Fishermen was postponed.
With no other games on the schedule, Arborg had time to rest up ahead of the busy end to the regular season and the upcoming playoffs.
The Ice Dawgs returned to action Monday against the Fishermen for an 8:30 p.m. start at Arborg & District Arena. Due to press deadlines, scores and statistics from the game were unavailable at press time.
The contest marked Game 27 of 30 in the regular season for the Ice Dawgs, who entered the matchup with a 5-17-0-2-2 record.
At the time, Arborg sat sixth in the seven-team Capital Region Junior Hockey League, with fifth place still within reach.
The Ice Dawgs now look ahead to the final three games of the regular season, with two more contests this week against the last-place North Winnipeg Satellites and the fifth-ranked Lundar Falcons. Their playoff opponent could be determined by the end of the week.
Friday’s matchup against Lundar will close out the Ice Dawgs’ regular-season home schedule.
Arborg will then wrap up the 30-game campaign on the road against the Selkirk Fishermen on Friday, Feb. 20.
Remaining regular-season games:
Tuesday, Feb. 10 — at North Winnipeg Satellites, 8 p.m., Billy Mosienko Arena
Friday, Feb. 13 — vs. Lundar Falcons, 8 p.m., Arborg & District Arena
Friday, Feb. 20 — at Selkirk Fishermen, 7:30 p.m., Selkirk Recreation Complex
