Hockey fans who like a lot of goals would have been happy with the two games this weekend between the Parkland Rangers and Winnipeg Thrashers.

The two teams combined for 24 goals as the Thrashers scored a 10-5 win on Saturday at Credit Union Place, with the Rangers winning Sunday’s contect, 5-4.

The Rangers had a 4-2 lead after the first period on Saturday.

But Winnipeg scored in the opening minute of the second period to open the flood gates as they would score six times in the frame en route to the victory.

On Sunday, Parkland held a 4-2 lead going into the third period only to see the Thrashers tie the game by the 8:39 mark.

Unlike Saturday, the Rangers were able to rebound, netting the go-ahead goal with 2:14 left to play on a goal from Quentin Fisk and they hung on for the victory.

Rangers head coach Tyler Carefoot said Sunday’s win was a nice way to rebound from the loss the night before.

“Take away the second period of (Saturday’s game) and I think we deserved to win five out of six periods. So for that, I’ve got to give a lot of credit to the fellas,” he said.

The team has been focusing on keeping things simple, not forcing passes and being aware of where they are on the ice.

“And I think our execution to the details for the last five games has been tremendous. So all credit to the boys right now,” Carefoot said.
