The Estevan Bruins are hoping a five day break will do them
good as they look for the third straight win tonight as they host the
Kindersley Klippers. A game you can catch on CJ1280 and
discoverestevan.com beginning at 7:20 with the pregame show.
The Bruins head into tonight's game with momentum after back to back
wins against the Flin Flon Bombers on the weekend. The club is hoping
the loss to the La Ronge Ice Wolves the night before their back to back
wins over the Bombers can serve as the turning point for the team
heading down the stretch. Bruins defenceman Dominic Perrault believes
the team took last Friday's loss to heart and turned it into a postive
with their wins over the Bombers.
Perrault was a big playoff hero for the Bruins last season and he's
looking to step once again this season for the Bruins especially since
he's the only 20 year old defenceman on the Bruins blue line. He felt
that he got off to a strong start with his game against Flin Flon on
Sunday, "I'm not normally an offensive guy, I decided tried to do
something new on Sunday and it worked out as I had a couple of chances,
and I laid out the body and that's something I have to do every night
that's my game."
The Bruins should be welcoming a new body on the blue line tonight as
Zach MacLellan is expected to make his debut for the Bruins tonight
after being acquired from the Battlefords Northstars last week.
MacLellan initially went home to BC after learning he was traded to
Melfort but once the North Stars recaquired him and later trade him to
Estevan he had a change of heart and decided to report to the Bruins
lineup this week. Perrault believes he will add a lot to the Bruins "He definitely shows a big presence along the blue line, he plays a very
physical game and hopefully he can come in and help our blue line.
The Bruins and Klippers will be meeting each other four times down the
stretch, the Bruins have gone 1-0-0-1 against the Klippers this season
but in their last game at the end of November former Bruins goalie
Brandon Stone helped lead the Klippers to a 3-2 shootout win. Perrault
believes they have to treat tonight's game like any other game, he notes
that this season their worse games have come against teams who are
below them in the standings because they take them too lightly, he
believes that won't be the case tonight.
After tonight's game, the Bruins will be off for the next seven days as
they return to action next Friday when they host the Nipawin Hawks at
Spectra Place.
