After clinching their ninth consecutive playoff birth with last nights win, the University of Calgary Dinos once again defeated the University of Manitoba Bisons to wrap up Canada West men's hockey regular season action on Sat., Feb. 10 with a 4-1 win.

Two goals a piece from both Chris Collins and Logan Fisher, as well as an efficient powerplay (two goals on four tries), proved to be the difference in the Dinos' weekend sweep of the Bisons.

Prior to their series with Calgary, Manitoba was riding a five game win streak with sweeps of Lethbridge and Regina.

The victory for the Dinos marks their sixth straight win, which has also pushed them into fifth place in the Canada West standings after Mount Royal Cougars loss at Saskatchewan in the last game of the 2017-18 regular season.

Calgary started the game with the same pace and pressure that helped them secure a 5-1 victory in last nights series opener. With a strong forecheck and backcheck, the Dinos held the Bisons without a shot in the opening seven minutes of the game, before being called for a boarding penalty.

Shortly after killing off the penalty, the Dinos scored the first goal of the game thanks to a strong forecheck by Robbie Fisher and Coda Gordon. In a battle behind the net, Robbie Fisher poked the puck free to Gordon, who made a perfect backhand pass to find Logan Fisher all alone in front of Bisons goalie Dasan Sydora.

Just as they did to start the game, the home side allowed the Bisons back into the matchup after taking a penalty. 20 seconds into the man advantage, Bisons leading scorer Michael St. Croix recorded his team high 35th point on a perfectly placed snapshot.

The second period opened opposite the first, as the Bisons established a heavy forecheck to open the second frame. This momentum was halted after Manitoba was called for a penalty. Opportunistic as ever, graduating forward Chris Collins recorded his team high 28th point on his 11th goal of the season.

Continuing to stake his claim as one of the premier scorers in Canada West, Collins would add his second of the afternoon midway through the second frame. A heads up Riley Sheen would block a Manitoba shot right in front of Greenfield, before firing a lead pass to a streaking Cain Franson. With Collins trailing on the wing, Franson would feather a perfect pass to his teammate who made no mistake in putting the Dinos ahead 3-1.

The Dinos would capitalize once again on an undisciplined Bisons squad, as Logan Fisher would score his second of the night, and the Dinos' second powerplay goal, with under three minutes to play in period two.

The third period would see the hosts put the finishing touches on yet another dominant performance against a team they could likely face in the first round of the Canada West playoffs.

Prior to the game, the Dinos honored their five graduating players, Brayden Sherbinin, Chris Collins, assistant captains Drydn Dow and Adam Kambeitz, as well as captain Dan Gibb.

The University of Calgary Dinos will next look ahead to the first round of the playoffs, where they will face the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds in a best-of-three, Canada West quarterfinal series. The Bisons will face off against either the Mount Royal Cougars on Feb. 16-18 weekend at the Wayne Fleming Arena.
