The Lord Selkirk Royals split a pair of road games last week and head into the postseason sitting ninth in the Platinum Promotions Division with an 8–13 record in Winnipeg High School Hockey League action.
Lord Selkirk opened the week with a 4–3 overtime win over Westwood on Feb. 4. The Royals jumped out to a 3–0 first-period lead with goals from Kageon Carver, Erik Evason and Mateo Malbasa. Evason added an assist, while Westwood rallied to tie the game in the third before Jaxon Beasley scored the overtime winner at 2:58.
The Royals were unable to carry that momentum into the following night, falling 4–1 to Sturgeon Heights on Feb. 5. The hosts scored twice in the opening period and added another midway through the third. Nolan Dear netted Lord Selkirk’s lone goal on the power play late in regulation.
Lord Selkirk now turns its focus to the playoffs following the conclusion of the regular season.
