Persson bags winner

Dennis Persson scored the game winner for Timra in their 5-4 win over Linkopings on Saturday. Persson's goal came with the man advantage with a little under seven minutes to play. A -1 on the night, the 6'1 rearguard logged a season-high 19:40 in ice time on the Eagle's right side. Rounding out Saturday's action, Tyler Ennis assisted on the game winning goal in Medicine Hat's 6-3 win over Lethbridge. (The rest of Saturday's results can be found below.) ---------------------- In the KHL, Ak Bars defenseman Vjacheslav Buravchikov is now nine games into his season. He's posted a goal, an assist, and an impressive +5 while averaging 17:59 in time as Kazan sits in 11th place in the 24-team league.
