A couple of poorly timed goals against in the second period turned the tide as the Swift Current Midget AAA Legionnaires lost 6-2 in Tisdale on Saturday.

The Trojans scored 35 seconds after Swift Current took a 2-1 lead midway the period and then struck again to take the lead with only 24 seconds left in the second. The goals by Connor Bucsis and Tristen Elder gave Tisdale momentum they needed to then pull away in the third period.

Reid Fritzke opened the scoring for the Legionnaires midway through the first period. However, Cole McBride answered with a power play goal of their own less than 2 minutes later.

Graham Grove had Swift Current's second goal. Austin Andrusiak assisted on both Legionnaires markers.

Bucsis and Tyler Olsen had 3 points each for the Trojans.

Luke Grassl took the loss for the Legionnaires as he allowed 6 goals on 26 shots. Nik Amundrud stopped 24 of Swift Current's 26 shots to earn the win.

The loss ran Swift Current's losing streak to six games. The Legionnaires are now 5-9-3-1 on the season compared to Tisdale's 11-5-2-0 record. The two teams meet again Sunday afternoon in Tisdale.
