Bruins Open Road Trip With Loss


The Bruins dropped their first game of their three game road trip to the Flin Flon Bombers 3-1 last night at the Whitney Forum.
Josh Jelinski and Connor Milligan looked good in their return to the lineup, Jelinski was flying around making hits and brought a lot of energy to the Bruins lineup, while Milligan looked good inside of the Bruins zone. Both played in limited roles, but over the next few games expect both players to get more ice time and make a bigger impact.

Sometimes the shot clock is a very misleading stat and last night that was the case. The Bombers out shot the Bruins 33-26, but the Bruins had several shots that went wide of the net. The Bruins outplayed the Bombers in the final 30 minutes but couldn’t find the equalizer to tie the game at 2-2. 

Dylan Smith scored his 27th goal of the season in the loss for the Bruins.  Steven Glass had another strong game with 30 saves in the loss.

Eric Baldwin could be back in the lineup this weekend; the only problem is finding the right spot in the lineup. Dylan Schellenberg was out last night with an illness, he could return as soon as tonight.

The Bruins will look to split the two game set in Flin Flon tonight, you can catch the game on CJ1280 and discoverestevan.com beginning at 7:20.
