Last week the Bruins embarked on a three game road trip
through Kindersley and Battlefords. The Bruins opened the road trip with 4-0
win in Kindersley on Thursday before a 7-6 shootout loss in Battlefords on Friday and
they wrapped a the trip with a 5-2 loss against Kindersley on Saturday.
Player of the Week
Matthew Dochylo
This was a toss up between Calder Neufeld and Dochylo, but
last weekend Dochylo played some of his best hockey since being acquired by the
Bruins last season. Dochylo scored a pair of goals in Kindersley, and added
another pair in Battlefords. Dochylo continues to be
dominant in the corners, and it's becoming very difficult for opposing d-men to knock him off the puck. Dochylo formed great chemistry with Josh Jelinski and
Tyler Paslawski and the trio will likely be a big factor for the Bruins during their playoff run.
Defenceman and Rookie of the Week
Tyler Kauk
It was a big week for Kauk as he was named defenceman of the
week in the SJHL. Kauk picked up 6 assists last week with four of them coming in Battlefords. Kauk has been a heavy hitter all season and
lately we’ve seen Kauk show more confidence by rushing the puck more into the
opponent’s end. Kauk’s offensive numbers are continuing to pile up if he
continues this current trend.
Unsung Hero of the Week
Steven Glass
After being sidelined with a knee injury that almost
required surgery, Glass came back into the Bruins lineup and shut out the
Klippers last Thursday. While Glass did give up 6 goals in the loss to
Battlefords, he did battle back in the shootout as he stopped 7 out of 9 shots
in the shootout, and against a team like Battlefords, I think that’s impressive.
The Bruins will host Yorkton tonight, and then entertain the
Klippers on Friday followed by the Humboldt Broncos coming to town on Saturday
night.
