Karlstad, SWE- For only the third time this season, the Thunder Bay Timberwolves have pieced together a 3-game winning streak. Against one of the best clubs in the CCHL, and on the road.
>>>Less then five minutes into the first period, Timberwolves defenseman Bryan McCabe blasted a shot from the point through a screened Tomas Vokoun.
>>>McCabe's lone goal would hold for the remainder of the first and through the second periods.
>>>Thunder Bay's goaltender, Jonas Hiller (pictured) withstood a barrage of shots from the league's best Karlstad Killers. Stopping forty through the first sixty minutes.
>>>"Jonas is a tremendous goalie," said Timberwolves general manager, Blake Wendt. "He plays with poise beyond his years, is so technical and well-positioned and rarely lets a puck bounce out up the middle. He doesn't get the recognition he should, but I'm sure he's fine with that." Referring to the Swiss tenders shy demeanor.
>>>At 7:55 in the third period, David Perron doubled up the score for the Timberwolves for his 18th of the season from McCabe and Marc Savard.
>>>Patrick Marleau would finally break through Hiller for Karlstad's first and lone goal of the contest at 12:24.
