WHL Roundup: Oil Kings beat Ice for sixth straight victory

EDMONTON — Justin Sourdif scored two goals and added an assist and teammate Josh Williams scored two of his own as the Edmonton Oil Kings won their sixth game in a row with a 6-3 victory over the Winnipeg Ice.

The Oil Kings (36-11-3) have now won nine of their last 11 contests as they chase the Everett Silvertips for the best record in the league.

For Winnipeg (32-8-3), it was their second straight loss.

The Ice opened the game leading 2-0 midway through the first period, but a five-goal spurt from the Oil Kings between the end of the first and into the second erased that advantage and left Winnipeg playing catch-up.

Edmonton goalie Sebastian Cossa made 22 saves to preserve the win.
