Kris Muissu scored twice as the Brandon Wheat Kings rallied with six third-period goals to beat the Moose Jaw Warriors 6-2 in Western Hockey League pre-season action at Temple Gardens Centre on Saturday.

Brandon (2-2-0-0) received its other goals from Chase Surkan, Cameron Allard, Jaxon Jacobson and Ahmad Fayad, with Carson Deichert and Connor Schmidt replying for Moose Jaw (0-5-1-0). The Wheat Kings also beat the Warriors 6-2 on Friday at Assiniboine Credit Union Place.

Brandon head coach and general manager Marty Murray said his team simply got better and better as the game wore on.

“We showed some resiliency in the third period,” Murray said. “We played to the identity we want to see. The first period we were pretty flat. We didn’t give up a ton but we didn’t generate much, we only had three or four shots on net. That doesn’t cut it. We did a better job in the second of getting pucks to the net but I still thought we needed to make life a little harder for (Moose Jaw goalie Jordan) Switzer, and in the third period, we accomplished that.”

Brandon Wheat Kings forward Kris Muissu scored four times but the Regina Pats replied with five unanswered goals in the second half of the game to win 6-4 in Western Hockey League pre-season action on Saturday at Ochapowace, Sask.

Regina (4-0-0-0)received two goals each from Samuel Karsay and Connor Bear, with singles coming from Maddox Schultz and Cohen Klassen. Brandon fell to 0-2-0-0 after losing 6-3 to Regina on Friday at Assiniboine Credit Union Place.

Wheat Kings head coach and general manager Marty Murray liked what he saw after a disappointing effort the night before.

“I thought it was a much better effort,” Murray said. “Obviously the end result was disappointing but we wanted to see some strides. We weren’t happy with the effort at all (Friday) night in the first half of the game and I thought we battled hard (on Saturday). They had a lot of veterans in the lineup and we were pretty inexperienced and I thought our kids took some strides.”
