Copperheads 6, Lakers 3

Thunder 4, Colts 2

The Thunder are padding their lead atop the HJHL's North Division standings.

Brayden Dunn scored a pair of goals, including a shorthanded marker, as the Airdrie Techmation Thunder doubled up the Mountainview Colts 4-2.

Dunn has five goals in the past two games.

Tristan Paquette's powerplay goal stood up as the game-winner and Jordan McConnell also scored for Airdrie.

Jackson Little made 29 saves for the win as the Thunder (16-4-0) moved 10 points clear of the second-place Sylvan Lake Wranglers.

Josh Gette and Bryce Gray replied for the Colts (10-9-1), who sit one point back of the Wranglers.

Airdrie wraps a busy three-in-three with a matinee meeting Sunday afternoon in High River (2:30 p.m.).
