The Saskatoon Blades appear to be finding their footing in the WHL after a pair of statement wins over the weekend.
Saskatoon beat the powerhouse Swift Current Broncos 4-3 on the road Friday before a 4-1 home win over Brandon on Saturday.

Cameron Hebig carried the Blades offense with five goals in the two games, starting with a hat-trick Friday in Swift Current. He added two more Saturday against Brandon.

The two wins take the Blades out of the WHL eastern conference basement with a record of 5-7-1. They begin a Wednesday road trip Wednesday in Lethbridge.
