CLOQUET, Minn. – Five different MN Wilderness players lit the lamp in a 4-2 defeat of the Brookings Blizzard in an NAHL Central Division game Thursday night at Northwoods Credit Union Arena.

The Blizzard struck first as Henry Enebak scored on assists from Nolan Turi and Ben Perkins 6 minutes into the game.

The Wilderness’ Luke Dow and Landon Langenbrunner scored later in the first period, and Josh Fricks and Isaac Kobienia converted in the second to push the margin to 4-1.

Connor Koviak cut the deficit to 4-2 with a power-play tally 75 seconds into the third stanza, but that would be as close as Brookings would get. Max Sasson and Carson Kosobud were credited with assists.

Nicholas Michel tacked on an empty-netter late.

Jacob Sibell made 37 saves to earn the win in goal. Eric Gotz dished out a pair of assists.

Brookings’ Adam Brizgala stopped 21 shots.

The Wilderness (32-21-3-3, 70 points) moved into a tie for second with the Austin Bruins. The sixth-place Blizzard fell to 23-29-2-5 (53 points). The teams wrap up the regular season tonight at 7:05.
