SASKATOON - Goaltender Ryan Holfeld made 26 saves to lead the University of Saskatchewan Huskies to a 3-0 shut out victory over the visiting University of Calgary Dinos Saturday night in Saskatoon's Rutherford Rink.

BOX SCORE

The victory gave the Huskies the weekend sweep in the series and a leg up in the log-jammed Canada West standings. With the win the Huskies move to 13-7-0 and sit in a tie for second place with the University of Manitoba Bisons (11-5-4), who split with the last-place University of Regina Cougars this weekend, at 26 points.  Calgary falls to 11-8-2 and to third place. A night earlier, the Huskies won 6-3 over Calgary.

Huskie defenceman Brett Ward opened the scoring in the game at 6:42 in the second period on the power play on a shot from the point. The Huskies had the man advantage after Joel Eisenkirch took an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Andrew Bailey gave the Huskies a 2-0 lead at 18:40 in the same frame. Brennan Bosch scored the Huskies insurance goal 3:15 into the third period.

Both Calgary and Saskatchewan had trouble on the power play. The Huskies converted on just 1-of-8 chances, while the Dinos were 0-5 on the night with the man advantage.

Dinos' netminder Dustin Butler made 21 saves in the loss.

The Huskies travel to face the UBC Thunderbirds next weekend, while Calgary returns home to host the Manitoba Bisons.
