The Blast were able to snap their losing streak on the road Monday night when they defeated the Whitby Dunlops 5-2. That game was a makeup from a contest that was postponed due to bad weather.

Nathan Pageau, who picked up an assist in the game against Whitby, was a big offensive contributor when Brantford played Dundas on Jan. 10 at home. He scored a goal and added two assists in a 7-3 loss.
