Out for a month, Wong returned to the Saskatoon Blades lineup in time for the final four games of the regular season.
The Blades will welcome that energy boost when they face the Moose Jaw Warriors in WHL Eastern Conference best-of-seven quarterfinal series action. Game 1 and Game 2 go Friday and Saturday, respectively, in Moose Jaw. “It was just kind of a weird cross-check and opened my body in a weird way. He just kind of got me in a perfect spot.”“It was pretty bad timing,” admitted Wong. “I was playing really well. It was kind of my best hockey in that period of time throughout the season, but, obviously, you can’t do too much about it and I’m just trying to get back to my game now, kind of where I was. I’ve got a couple of goals under my belt since I’ve been back.
“I didn’t really know when I’d be back,” said Wong. “For me, personally, I’m just happy to be back for playoffs and help the team win.”
