McCarty returns, Dach leads Blades past Moose Jaw

Just barely 16-years-old, Kirby Dach scored twice to lead the Saskatoon Blades to a massive 4-2 win over Moose Jaw Friday night.

Josh Paterson (12) opened the scoring for Saskatoon before the first of two highlight reel goals for Dach (1). With six players missing due to injury, the 2016 second overall pick was granted permission by the WHL to join the Blades full-time.
