Saturday night wasn’t any better as the Blizzard fell 10-2 to Willmar. Trailing 2-0 after one, Matt McIntyre scored his 2nd of the season just :11 seconds into the second off assists from Ben Tschida and Matt Scribner, but Willmar answered with the next 5 goals. Kaden Peterson scored a power play goal in the 3rd with an assist from Ryan Hadland to cut the lead to 7-2, but Willmar tacked on 3 more for the victory.
