Bruins Crush Klippers 8-1


The CanElson Drilling Estevan Bruins made a statement that they don’t plan on fading down the stretch drive as they picked up a big 8-1 win over the Kindersley Klippers. 

The Bruins exploded in the first period as they scored six times to open up the game. Derek Whitehill opened up the scoring at 2:43 mark to give the Bruins the early lead. Tanner Froese would add to the Bruins lead shortly afterwards to extend the lead to 2-0. 

Matt Brykaliuk would score the Bruins first powerplay goal to give the Bruins a 3-0 advantage. Shortly after that Calder Neufeld scored from a nice pass to make it 4-0. A couple of minutes later Denin Boesch found Matthew Dochylo along in front and Dochylo scored to make it 5-0. The Bruins would conclude the period with a point shot from Connor Milligan giving the Bruins the lead 6-0 after 1. 

In the second period, the Bruins went right back to work as Froese took advantage and buried a shot top shelf and picked up his second goal of the game. With the Bruins leading 7-0, the Klippers would score their only goal of the evening when Trent Hermary batted in a loose rebound. With just under 2 minutes left in the period, Tyler Paslawski scored on a loose rebound and the Bruins lead 8-1 after two periods. There was no scoring in the third as the final was 8-1. 

The Bruins penalty kill was very busy as they killed 10 out of 11 penalties, and Tyler Ross had a solid night with 35 saves. 

After the game I spoke with Tanner Froese.


Bruins are off until next Friday when they host Nipawin at Spectra Place.
