The Estevan Bruins finally solved the Yorkton Terriers with a 3-2 win over the Terriers
Taylor Reich opened up the scoring for the Bruins in the first as he skated on the line with Cole Olson and Dylan Smith with Calder Neufeld injured.
Yorkton would take the lead in the second with a pair of goals, but the Bruins rebounded with Ben Johnstone scoring to tie the game 2-2.
Then 50 seconds into the third Dylan Smith scored to out the BRuins ahead for good at 3-2.
Another strong game from Steven Glass who made 31 saves for the Bruins, as he backstopped the Bruins to a pair of wins on the Showcase Weekend.
Reich had a strong game playing on the line with Olson and Smith, Reich provided some grit to that top line, but more importantly he didn't look out of place. It looks like Calder Neufeld will be out on Tuesday with an injury so you can expect to see Reich playing on that line again.
With today's game the third one of the week between Yorkton and Estevan, it had a little playoff feel. In the second period, Eric Baldwin went down after taking a high hit that wasn't called. Baldwin needed some stitches but came back in the third period.
Josh Jelinski showed off why he was named the Captain as he dropped the mitts with Brendan Poncelet in the second looking for retribution for the hit on Baldwin, unfortunately Jelinski was penalized for 17 minutes since he took the instigator penalty but you have to like the way Jelinski stood up for his teammates.
After the game I spoke with Reich.
