The Herd needed to get at least a split to finish the 1st semester, and now they have that and will push for a sweep on Saturday night. First, here's how the teams lined up:
MANITOBA
Goal
30 Hughes (35 Murphy)
Defence
5 Schioler - 6 Dyck
16 Hartje - 3 Harsch
4 Anderson - 27 Doerksen - 2 Stewart
Forwards
14 Keane - 12 Jameson - 17 Veloso
10 Skoleski - 23 Davis - 22 Ostir
26 McCorrister - 9 Thiessen - 19 Halvorsen
11 Carlson - 15 Dalke
Scratches
20 Apetagon - 21 Basarab - 24 Pierce
25 Sambrook - 28 Behun - 29 King

ALBERTA

4 Kirichenko - 6 Freadrich
7 Plouffe - 3 Lakusta
8 McLeod - 22 Sakowich
Forwards
15 Lategan - 16 Pawlenchuk - 17 Fonteyne
14 Florchuk - 18 Hughes - 23 Haden
20 Volcan - 29 Paterson - 24 Savenkov (D)
10 Prokop - 11 Preziuso - 25 Smith
Scratches
5 Davidson - 26 Wolski - 27 Miske
30 Bennett - 35 Berlin - 37 Trolley
This was as wild and crazy as one would expect a 7-6 game to be. The Bisons lead four times, only to see the Evil Monkeys tie it up each time. The Apes led just once, 1-0 after two minutes.
Bison scorers were defencemen Harsch and Stewart (with their firsts of the season), Skoleski with his 3rd and 4th, and Davis with his 7th, 8th, and 9th, including the overtime winner. Haden's two goals led the Monkeys. That's overtime winners in two straight games for Davis.
There were some dubious calls and non-calls. Liam Hughes knocked over at least six times in the Bison goal. I feared he was re-injured on one occasion. The Apes had five PPs to one for the Bisons, although each side had one goal on the PP.
Alberta falls to 6-2-1 and Manitoba improves to 3-7-1.
Quick summary:
Man: R. Harsch (02:53 1st) , S. Stewart (03:46 1st) , B. Davis (04:26 2nd) , B. Davis (07:14 2nd) , D. Skoleski (15:59 2nd) , D. Skoleski (01:30 3rd) , B. Davis (00:25 1st OT)

Goalies-Manitoba, Hughes 3-3-0-0 (40 shots-34 saves). Alberta, Burman 3-1-0-0 (15 shots-9 saves); Schneider 3-0-1-0 (4 shots-3 saves).
Of note, Alberta laws restrict the Clare Drake Arena to 1,000 spectators. And that's what they had.

The Banjo-Cats were purring away with a 3-1 lead heading into the 3rd period. But once Mr. Slate sounded the wake-up alarm, the Dinos turned it around to tie the game in regulation and win it in overtime. Regina is now 5-5-1 and Calgary is 7-3-1.
Quick summary:
Calg: B. De Jong (15:47 1st) , K. Elder (03:25 3rd) , T. Upper (19:34 3rd) , R. Gagnon (01:40 1st OT)

➤ MacU: Team Website
The first battle of these expansion cousins might have been keenly anticipated earlier in the season. However, after witnessing several games the one-sidedness of this one was no surprise. Holy Trinity is not just 0-9-0 now, they have scored just 9 goals and have given up 55. The Mythical Mutants are now 3-6-0.
Quick summary:
TWU: none
MacU: C. Thudium (04:56 1st) , E. Price (06:42 1st) , S. Comrie (14:19 1st) , R. Brandt (01:23 2nd) , K. Gable (03:30 2nd) , C. Roach (09:26 2nd) , C. Thudium (15:40 3rd)
Goalies-Trinity Western, Berkeliev 0-2-0-0 (15 shots-11 saves); Joseph 0-4-0-0 (26 shots-23 saves). MacEwan, Taylor 1-3-0-0 (29 shots-29 saves).

I caught the end of the 2nd period, and all of the 3rd. When I started watching it was already 4-1 so all I saw was two teams sleep-walking through an uneventful ending. There was some chippiness, though. UBC went 0-for-8 on the PP. UBC is now 7-1-1 and Sask is 7-2-0.
Quick summary:
Sask: D. Holt (14:23 1st)
UBC: T. Sandhu (07:00 1st) , M. Revel (03:38 2nd) , C. McNabb (06:11 2nd) , S. Atkinson (12:43 2nd)
Goalies-Saskatchewan, Ross 4-1-0-0 (29 shots-25 saves). UBC, Toth 6-1-1-0 (25 shots-24 saves).
