The Estevan Bruins will meet the Notre Dame Hounds for the third time this season as the two teams hook up at Spectra Place.
The Bruins are on a roll as they have won five out of their last six games including taking two out of three on the weekend from La Ronge Ice Wolves and Melfort Mustangs.
Heading into the game a pair of Bruins find themselves on top of the league leaders, as Dylan Smith leads the SJHL in points with 29, Smith had a big weekend as he was playing closer to home and picked up a goal and four assists in the final two games on the road trip.
Calder Neufeld heads into the game with the league lead in goals with
15 on the season, Neufeld regained the lead after a hat trick in
Saturday's win over La Ronge, second in the league in goals is Dylan
Smith with 13.
Ryan Ostertag found his scoring touch up north as he scored in Saturday and Sunday's game after sitting out Friday's game in La Ronge.
The Bruins are kicking off a stretch of home games as they will be at
home for the 8 out of their next 11 games including next Wednesday's
game in Carlyle against the Notre Dame Hounds.
Bruins Forward Matt Dochylo thinks this stretch of the season will go a
long way in determining where the Bruins will end up at the end of the
regular season. "It's important for all these home games to pick up all
the points we can, and come in January and February to look back these
games and thinking how important it was for us to pick up our home
points for a playoff spot, home ice advantage, or even first place.
These home games are really important for us."
As mentioned before the Bruins are facing the Hounds with the home team claiming a victory. The Bruins were in full control last time they met as they hammered the Hounds 9-1, there was also mini brawl the last time they played so it will be interesting to see if the teams play with short memories tonight.
Eric Baldwin should be back in the lineup tonight after sitting out on Sunday night in Melfort.
And I'll be doing the play by play for the webcast tonight beginning at 7:30. Here's the link for the webcast.
