Last week, the High Prairie Regals were winless, having lost 14 straight to start the NPHL season.
Now they have won back-to-back games.

HP defeated the Grimshaw Huskies 6-5 in OT to sweep the home-and-home series over the holidays, and send GRIM to its eighth loss in nine games. The game was played at a neutral site in Peace River. HP and GRIM have now split the four games played this season.
Drake Cunningham’s second goal of the game at 7:42 of the third period tied the game, then he won it in overtime only 19 seconds in. Mitch Price assisted on the goal, his fourth of the night.
Kyle Olansky, Lloyd AhKimNachie and Hector Lamouche scored the other HP goals.
Brendan Hawryluk scored twice for GRIM. Bond Hawryluk, Ty Wiebe and Lance Rapson added the others.
HP rallied from deficits four times in the game. They trailed 1-0 and 2-1 in the first period, 4-3 in the second period and 5-4 in the third.
HP [2-11-2-1 for seven points] now trails GRIM [5-7-2-0 for 12 points] by only five points for third place in the East Division. GRIM, however, has played two less games.
