Bruins vs Mustangs Preview

The Estevan Bruins will return to Spectra Place when they host the Melfort Mustangs with an opening faceoff of 7:30.

The Bruins are heading into the game with some momentum after defeating the Notre Dame Hounds in Carlyle 8-3. Ben Johnstone and Ryan Ostertag combined for 5 goals in the win. In the game on Wednesday, after a little break Head Coach Keith Cassidy changed the lines a little bit, one new unit saw Ostertag on a line with Matt Brykaliuk and Tanner Froese.

Michael Hengen sat out Wednesday's game as he continues to recover from a knee injury, he's likely going to be back in the lineup sometime this weekend. If not tonight, then tomorrow night in Melville.

Derek Tendler handled the goaltending duties in Wednesday's win over Notre Dame. Steven Glass and Brandon Stone last action was in the Bruins loss to Yorkton last Wednesday.

The Mustangs head into the game on a slump, they have only won three games this season which is good enough for 7 points. The Bruins beat the Mustangs in their only matchup back on Oct.23 in Melfort.

After tonight's game the Bruins are on the road as they head to Melville to face the Millionaires. Coverage on CJ1280 and Discoverestevan.com begins at 7:20.
