The Swift Current Broncos traded for blue liner Garrett Sambrook on Friday, and he’ll join the team immediately. Sambrook, 18, was originally the Brandon Wheat Kings’ sixth-round pick in the 2015 WHL Draft. He spent last season between Brandon and Virden of the MJHL. In a corresponding move, the Broncos released 18-year-old winger Colum McGauley.

The Kamloops Blazers have reassigned 1999-born d-man Tylor Ludwar to the Vernon Vipers of the BCHL. Ludwar recorded three points and 82 penalty minutes last year. He had only gotten into one game this season.
Three stars of the night:
- Schael Higson (Brandon) – Recorded a point on each of his teams five goals, finishing the night with two goals and three assists, including the primary helper on the game-winner in OT. He also made a sliding save in the crease, bailing out his netminder in the first period.
- Max Gerlach (Saskatoon) – Registered a hat trick, including the OT-forcing goal with 16 seconds remaining in regulation and the game-winner late in the extra frame.
- Connor Dewar (Everett) – Scored twice and added two assists to help the Silvertips rally past the Oil Kings. Also went 15-for-21 in the faceoff circle.
Honorable mentions:
–David Tendeck stopped 27-of-30 in regulation and then turned away 12-of-13 shooters in the shootout as the Vancouver Giants escaped with the extra point against the Kamloops Blazers 4-3… Two points each from Riley Woods and Jake McGrew as the Spokane Chiefs kept the Swift Current Broncos winless 4-1… Three-point night from Linus Nassen as the Swedish defender led his Medicine Hat Tigers to a 4-1 win over the Prince George Cougars… Max Paddock turned away 29-of-31 shots from the Kootenay ICE as the Regina Pats skated away with a 3-2 win… Two goals and an assist from Mark Kastelic sparked the Calgary Hitmen to their first win of 2018-19; 6-5 over the Lethbridge Hurricanes… The Kelowna Rockets got back to winning thanks to a 3-2 win over the Tri-City American with two assists from Conner Bruggen-Cate leading the way.
