The Estevan Bruins picked up their second straight win as
they blanked the Flin Flon Bombers 3-0. With the win, the Bruins move back
into a tie of second place in the Sherwood Conference with the Yorkton Terriers
and improve their record to .500 (23-23-0-1)
Early in the first period the Bombers Landon Hiebert landed
awkwardly in the boards and need to be carried out on a stretcher which lead to a lengthy delay in the game.
The Bruins
opened the scoring at the 8:20 mark of the first period when Josh
Jelinski scored his 9th goal of the season as the Bruins lead 1-0 after 20 minutes. Late in the first period Eric
Baldwin went down with a lower body injury and didn’t return.
In the second it was Jelinski once again as he made a move
past the Bombers defenceman at centre ice that allowed a 3 on 1 rush for the Bruins. Jelinski elected to keep the puck on the rush and he
buried it top shelf to give him a pair on the night and the Bruins a 2-0 lead
after two periods.
The Bruins buckled down defensively in the third period as
Tyler Ross made 20 saves in the period and
32 on the evening to pick up the first
shutout for the Bruins this season. Michael Hengen added an empty for the
Bruins to make the final of 3-0. The Bruins penalty kill was busy in the third as the Bruins killed off four Bomber power plays. The Bruins did lose Tyler Paslawski late in
the third period as he took a puck on the outside of the hand.
The Bruins have a little break in their schedule as they
play Kindersley on Friday at Spectra Place, in their only game of the week. I
talked to Head Coach Keith Cassidy in the postgame show, and spoke to Jelinski
after the game.
