Last season, the Steinbach Huskies won only one of their 25 games and had four points overall in a last place finish in the Hanover Tache Junior Hockey League.

This year, just three games into the 2018-19 campaign, the Huskies have already doubled their win output from last season, as they already have two victories.

The Huskies opened the season with a narrow 5-4 loss to the defending champion Red River Mudbugs, then posted a pair of victories this weekend, downing the Mitchell Mohawks 5-3 and then doubled the St. Adolphe Hawks 4-2.

Miguel Chartier paced the Huskies in their win Saturday at Mitchell with a pair of goals. Brayden Brown scored two third period goals Sunday night in Steinbach to spark the Huskies in their win over St. Adolphe.

One other game on the weekend saw the Grunthal Red Wings edge the Springfield Xtreme 3-2 Saturday night at Oakbank as Bailey Hiebert and Cole Scott scored two late goals for the Red Wings.

Red River and Lorette lead the standings with 2-0 records, followed by Steinbach at 2-1 and then Grunthal, now 1-1-1.

HTJHL action resumes Thursday night at St. Jean as Red River hosts Mitchell at 8:00 p.m. The Huskies are back in action Friday night in Steinbach as they entertain the Springfield Xtreme at 8:00 p.m.
