Quenneville, Wheat Kings one win away from WHL Final

John Quenneville and the Brandon Wheat Kings are one win away from their second straight WHL Eastern Conference title.

Quenneville collected a goal and an assist, including his league-leading 12th postseason tally, as the Wheat Kings topped the Red Deer Rebels, 4-2, on Wednesday to take a 3-1 lead in their best-of-seven WHL Eastern Conference Final.

Quenneville scored to break a 1-1 tie at 16:00 of the first period, then used a behind-the-back pass to set up Tim McGauley's eventual game-winner at 6:36 of the third.

Quenneville scores his 12th of the playoffs.
