NEW GLASGOW — The Cape Breton Tradesmen put a four-game losing streak to rest with a 4-2 win over the Pictou County "Weeks Major Midgets" on Sunday.
The victory concluded the 34-game Nova Scotia EastLink Major Midget Hockey League regular season for the Tradesmen.
They finished with a 13-18-2-1 record for 29 points, six points up on Pictou for sixth place. The seventh-place Weeks club (11-18-0-1) still has four games to play, however, and can still overtake Cape Breton.
Dylan Morley had a goal and an assist in the Sunday’s victory. Mitchell Johnston, Matthew LeBlanc and Daniel Reid all added singles. LeBlanc’s goal 3:53 into the third held up as the winner.
Branden Dauphinee picked up three assists as well in the triumph. In goal, Cody Smith made 21 stops in the victory.
Saturday, the Tradesmen suffered a 5-3 loss to Pictou.
Dauphinee, Johnston and Noah Perry hit the back of the net in the loss. Cape Breton goaltender Liam MacDonald made 24 saves in a losing cause.
The Tradesmen will wait until the rest of the league concludes play this week. The fifth-place Cape Breton West Islanders play their 34th and final game of the schedule on Tuesday in Port Hood against Pictou, a 7:30 p.m. start at the Al MacInnis Sports Centre.
