Jackson Waniek factored in on all three Grandview Steelers’ goals to help stretch the team’s consecutive point streak to six games.

Waniek scored a pair of first-period goals, while also assisting on Timothy Chow’s eventual game-winner in the third period in Grandview’s 3-2 victory over the Ridge Meadows Flames at the Burnaby Winter Club on Sunday.

Cole McInnes registered the win in goal with 26 saves.

The win improved the Junior B Steelers’ record to 13-12-0-3 in the Pacific Junior Hockey League.

Earlier in the week, Grandview stole a point from the Mission City Outlaws following a 5-4 overtime loss at the Mission Leisure Centre on Dec. 13.

Grandview held period leads of 2-1 and 3-2, and was up 4-2 early in the final period on recent acquisition Quinn Thompson’s first goal of the season.

Sean Norbury was a game star for the Steelers, scoring two goals and assisting on Thompson’s debut tally.

But Mission City came back to tie the contest, including a goal by Bryce Pisiak in the final half minute of the third period that sent the game into extra time.

Pisiak also tallied the game-winner at 3:41 of the  first OT session.

Nicholas Anderson took the loss despite making 33 saves in goal for Grandview.

The Steelers will close out the 2014 schedule on Sunday at the Burnaby Winter Club against the Langley Knights. Puck drops at 4 p.m.
