The Magicians had a three-game weekend, first heading to the Coulee Region on Thursday night and ending with two home games versus the Minnesota Wilderness.
Thursday, the Magicians pulled out a 3-2 shootout victory with Matthew Stanton scoring the lone shootout goal. The Magicians we outshot 41-37 but George McBey was great in net with 39 saves.
Friday night was the Magicians first home game in almost a month. The Wilderness were able to score two third period goals and spoil the Magicians homecoming with a 2-1 loss. The Magic would bounce back on Saturday though. Their offense finally came alive scoring three goals in the second period. Saville was once again great and Magicians took home a 4-1 win.
Winning two of three games this weekend the Magic were able to hold their position at 2nd in the Midwest Division and are just two points behind 1st place.
