EDMONTON - Dylan Guenther scored twice and assisted another to lead the Edmonton Oil Kings to a 5-3 victory over the Brandon Wheat Kings in their return to Western Hockey League play after a nearly two-week pause. Jake Neighbours had a goal and an assist for the Oil Kings (25-9-2-1) while Logan Dowhaniuk and Carter Souch also scored. The Oil Kings outshot Brandon 43-30. The WHL suspended activities for the Oil Kings and two other teams – Moose Jaw and Red Deer – on Jan. 4 after multiple players and staff were added to the league's COVID-19 protocol list. Brayden Schuurman scored his 20th of the season, on the power play, in the second period for the Royals (12-16-4-0).
