Bruins Beat Broncos In a Wild One 6-5


I expected the Bruins and Humboldt Broncos would provide plenty of fireworks as the fans were treated to an entertaining game as the Bruins beat the Broncos 6-5.

The top line for the Estevan Bruins is leading the way as Calder Neufeld, Dylan Smith and Cole Olson combined for 5 goals and 7 assists in the win for the Bruins.

The Broncos struck first when Brett Pinder opened the scoring to give the Broncos a 1-0 lead early in the contest. But the Bruins would explode with three quick goals as Calder Neufeld scored two goals in a 2:23 span to give the Bruins the lead. Chris Daniels would another marker 1:33 later to give the Bruins a 3-1 advantage. The Broncos would add one late as Riley Kieser responded late cut the lead to 3-2.

In the second period the Broncos would tie the game as Matt Glowa beat Derek Tendler on an odd man rush to even the score at 3-3. But the Bruins would regain the lead as Cole Olson took the pass from Dylan Smith and buried it top shelf to give the Bruins a 4-3 edge.

The teams would trade goals in the third as Calder Neufeld completed the hat trick extending the lead to 5-3, but the Broncos would get one back as Logan Sproule scored from the point to make it a one goal game again at 5-4, then with 2:36 remaining, Calder Neufeld would tip the puck past the defenceman on the two on one and would slide the pass over to Dylan Smith, who would score his second of the season to give the Bruins the lead at 6-4, Neil Landry replied for the Broncos late, but it was as close as they would get as the Bruins beat the Broncos 6-5.

Derek Tendler had to make 30 saves for the win. Neither team was able to score on the extra man advantage.

What can be said about the line of Neufeld Olson and Smith, there's obvious chemristy between the three and there's no sign of them slowing down. Neufeld ended the game with a hat trick and an assist, Dylan Smith had a goal and 4 assists and Cole Olson scored a goal and added 2 assists.

I talked to Dylan Smith after the game.

And even though the Jelinski-Daae-Whitehill line didn't score, I thought they provided a lot of energy, espcially Jelinski who had a couple of big hits in the first period. I also talked to him after the game.
