A young Moose Jaw Warriors team continues to grow early in the season and they treated fans to a tight, entertaining game on Friday night at Mosaic Place.

The home crowd left happy as the Warriors improved their record to 2-2-1 with a 3-2 overtime win over the Brandon Wheat Kings, who entered the game at 3-0-0-0.

Captain Josh Brook led the way for the young squad, scoring just 16 seconds into the overtime frame and finishing with points on all three goals for Moose Jaw.

In the first period, the Warriors were able to utilize their speed to ignite their fore-check, which led to a consistent attack inside the Brandon zone.

The Warriors landed on the power play late in the period and were able to capitalize. Brook came off the right point and controlled the puck on top of the Wheat Kings circle, he then moved the puck towards the goal line for Tristin Langan, who then jammed the puck over to Justin Almeida on the left side of the Brandon crease where he scored his third goal of the season.

Two minutes later, the Wheat Kings responded when Stelio Mattheos drove inside the Moose Jaw zone on the right wing and used the Warriors defenceman for a partial screen and then snapped a shot far-side to even the game at one.

There were moments throughout the second period where both teams were able to create quality opportunities, but were either denied due to a great save by the goaltenders --- Moose Jaw's Brodan Salmond and Brandon’s Jiri Patera -- or the play was broken up due to a strong defensive play which kept the game tied at one moving to the third.

Just 2:17 into the third period, Brook made a spectacular tape-to-tape stretch pass through the neutral zone to spring import Daniil Stepanov and the 17-year-old rookie snapped in his first WHL goal to give the Warriors a 2-1 lead.

Brandon responded at 7:58 when they set up Mattheos for a power-play goal in the slot that tied the game at two.

Throughout the remainder of regulation, the teams battled back and forth and exchanged scoring opportunities, but were turned away by the goalies. Sixty minutes wasn't enough to produce a winner, which meant for the second time this season the Warriors were headed into overtime.

Only 16 seconds into the extra period, Brook drove inside the Brandon zone, down the left wall, and then cut to the net, where he beat Patera through the legs for the game winner.

Brook finished with a goal and three points, Justin Almeida had a goal and two points, Tristin Langan picked up two assists, and Salmond made 20 saves.

Moose Jaw outshot Brandon 11-5 in the third period and 30-22 overall. They were 1-for-4 on the power play and 2-for-3 on the penalty kill.
