Divisional Battle

Klippers go wire to wire in win over Wolverines

Feb 5, 2026 | 12:47 AM

It took an extra seven weeks but the wait was worth it for the Kindersley Klippers as they controlled play from start to finish in a 5-1 win over the Warman Wolverines on Wednesday night in Warman.

Bryson Aikens scored twice and Russ Demo tallied three assists in the contest, which was originally supposed to be played on December 17 but had to be rescheduled due to a winter storm.

The Klippers wasted no time seizing the initiative in their sixth meeting with the Wolverines as Aikens opened the scoring with his 10th goal of the season just over four minutes into the first period. Thirty seconds later on a Kindersley power play, Aikens struck again, deflecting a Demo point shot past Taye Timmerman, giving the visitors a 2-0 lead before the game was even five minutes old.

Cobe Perlinger stretched the advantage to three with another power play marker midway through the second frame and Van Eger followed up with his 11th of the year with just over two minutes remaining in the period, putting the Klippers in full control through 40 minutes of play.

Ethan Sautner added his 13th of the season with a sharp-angle snipe in the third before Kanyan Unger finally broke up Mattias Radke’s shutout bid with his fifth of the year with under five minutes to play.

The Klippers netminder still earned his eighth win of the season with a 24-save effort while Timmerman took the loss despite making 35 stops including several of the highlight-reel variety. Kindersley scored twice on five power plays and Warman was held scoreless on two man advantages.

The Klippers have won three consecutive games and are now 19-17-7 on the season, good for second place in the Nutrien Division and seventh in the overall standings. The Wolverines remain last in the Nutrien Division and 11th overall at 11-27-4 following their third straight loss.

The Wolverines continue their run of divisional games this weekend with a home and home series against the Battlefords North Stars that opens on Friday night at 7 p.m. in Warman. Every Wolverines home and away game broadcast is available live on SaskNow.com.
