Blazers drop fourth consecutive game after shutout loss in Saskatoon

Oct 12, 2025 | 7:00 AM

SASKATOON, SK — Evan Gardner stopped all 32 shots he faced to lift the Saskatoon Blades to a 3-0 win over the Kamloops Blazers Saturday (Oct. 11) night in the Western Hockey League.

It was the shorthanded Blazers’ fourth defeat in a row and their second defeat in as many games during their six-game East Division road trip.

The Blades led 3-0 after the first period as Jordan Martin, Zach Olsen and David Lewandowski beat Logan Edmonstone in the Blazers net.

Those were the only goals in the game as the second and third period were scoreless affairs.

Edmonstone made 24 saves on 27 shots in a losing effort, while Gardener, a Fort St. John native, picked up the win Saturday night at the SaskTel Centre.
