The Dragons continue to fight up the southern division standings with a win Tuesday night against the Canmore Eagles, and with the 4-1 win they trail two points behind the fifth standing spot.
With only two matches left in the regular season, Drumheller is battling for fourth but realistically may land fifth if they can beat the Calgary Canucks Thursday night and the Mustangs at home Sunday.
Canmore opened the scoring early at Tuesday night’s game, but the Dragons took the lead halfway through the second period and kept piling on the goals.
Dragon forward Cass Mappin got the momentum going with a goal from helper Keenan Martens, followed by another Mappin tally on a powerplay opportunity in the closing minutes of the period.
Doug Jones took another man-advantage goal five minutes into the third, with centre Sean Sanford finding a shorthanded goal assisted by Kevin McMillan at the 7:40 mark.
The Dragons traveled to Calgary Thursday night to face the Canucks, who currently sit at the bottom of the southern standings. They’ll host another Calgary team, the Mustangs on Sunday at 2:00 p.m. at the Memorial Arena. The Mustangs are currently fifth of eight in the standings, leading the Dragons by two points as of Wednesday.
