With points in their last 11 games, the men's hockey team is currently riding a three game win streak into their final weekend of the regular season.

The team will have a home-and-home with the Windsor Lancers, with a home game on Thursday, before making the trip down to Windsor on Saturday for the final game of the regular season.

The Mustangs currently have a 14-9-3 record, and are sitting comfortably in a playoff spot, at fourth in the OUA West.

Mitchel Fitzmorris and Cordell James each had two goals in their three games this past week, with James netting the game winner against both Waterloo and Lakehead.

James is now second on the team in points, with nine goals and 19 points, only two back of Rob Polesello, who added an assist of his own this week to bring his points total up to 21.

Luke Peressini continues to be a force in net, leading the OUA in save percentage, with a .938, goals against average, with 1.96 a game, and win percentage, claiming victory in .889% of his games played.

Meanwhile, purple and white special teams continue to add to the team's success. The power play continues to be one of the best in the OUA, while the penalty kill steadily improves. The penalty kill no longer occupies the bottom slot in the OUA, and the team has not allowed a short-handed goal in 8 games.

Ian Parker is the leading scorer for the Lancers, with eight goals and nine assist for 17 points. Windsor has a well balanced attack, with everyone on the roster except for the goalies registering at least one point so far this season.
