The Grandview Steelers ground out a pair of 3-2 wins to keep their current winning streak intact.
The junior B Steelers got a timely first-of-the-season goal from Jackson Waniek in the second period of overtime to defeat the Mission City Outlaws 3-2 at the Burnaby Winter Club on Sunday.
Waniek was picked up in an Oct. 27 swap of forwards with the Richmond Sockeyes.
Lucas Santucci, with his first goal of the season, and Cameron Ginnetti, with the game-tying goal late in the third period, also scored for the Steelers.
Nicholas Anderson picked up his fourth win in goal for Grandview.
Earlier last week, Grandview got back-to-back goals in the third period from first star Jordan Hall, including the game-winner, to knock off the Ridge Meadows Flames at Planet Ice in Maple Ridge on Halloween night.
Hall, a fourth-year Steeler, tallied a hat trick in the win over the Flames.
Second star Timothy Chow assisted on all three Hall goals, while third star Joel Gaudet helped out on a pair of goals to boost his team-high point total to 18 points.
The wins extended Grandview’s current win streak to four games in the Pacific Junior Hockey League, moving the Steelers up in the Tom Shaw conference standings with a record of 9-7-0-0, tied for third place with the Delta Ice Hawks.
Anderson, who was picked up from the North Vancouver Wolf Pack for future considerations in a recent trade, was in the net for both Steeler wins. Anderson now boasts an impressive 1.44 goals against average since coming to Burnaby on Oct. 18.
Grandview travels to the MSA Arena in Abbotsford for a Friday night matchup against the Pilots. The Steelers are at home Sunday against Aldergrove. Game time is 4 p.m.
