The streak is over.
Having lost their last thirteen games, the Home Hardware Midget 'AAA' Legionnaires got back in the win column Saturday afternoon with a 3-2 OT win over the second place Moose Jaw Generals.
The Legionnaires got on the board first in Saturday's contest when Matthew Kesslering found the back of the net with 5:58 remaining in the opening frame.
Swift Current then took the 1-0 lead into the dressing room, however, midway through the second period, the Generals tied the game up 1-1 during a five on three power play as both Drieden Gauthier and Tyler Pryhitka were serving double minors for head contact.
Opening the third period on another power play, following a five minute major and game misconduct issued to Hunter Lamb for checking from behind, the Generals once agian took advantage, taking their first lead of the game 2-1.
Now trailing, the Legionnaires managed to find the equalizer midway through the third, as Caleb Griffin scored to tie the game.
Once the game was sent to overtime, it did not take very long to be decided.
Just 37 seconds into the extra frame, Matthew Jones buried his 12th goal of the season to snap the Legionnaires skid.
Swift Current goalie Caleb Lumbard was solid between the pipes for the Legionnaires.
Lumbard turned aside 37 of the 39 shots he faced.
The Legionnaires will return to league action January 9th in North Battleford.
