The Steinbach Pistons closed out their Manitoba Junior Hockey League preseason with a 3-0 shutout win over the Niverville Nighthawks on September 12, 2026, at the Southeast Event Centre in Steinbach, MB. Goaltender Lincoln Molind stopped all 22 shots he faced and was named the game’s First Star.
It was the Pistons’ first win of the preseason and came just one day after a 6-2 loss to the same Nighthawks team in La Salle. The victory gave fans a positive final impression before the regular season begins.
Molind, who joined the Pistons from the Brooks Bandits in August, delivered a steady performance in net. Cole Cairns, a 20-year-old forward from Winnipeg, is captaining the team this season.
The Pistons now turn their attention to the regular season opener on September 19, 2026, when they host the Winkler Flyers at the Southeast Event Centre. Puck drop is set for 7:00 p.m.
