The CanElson Drilling Estevan Bruins final game on the road was one of their finest performances as they picked up a 6-3 win over Weyburn.
The Bruins opened the scoring in the first as Matt Brykaliuk and Cole Olson scored within a minute of each other as the Bruins lead 2-0 early. The Bruins would go on a powerplay later in the first period, which ended up the Bruins giving up their 9th shorthanded goal of the season as Miguel Pereira scored for the Red Wings. But the Bruins would strike back later on the powerplay as Calder Neufeld replied with his 34th goal of the season and the Bruins lead 3-1 after the first.
In the second period after Weyburn cut the lead to 3-2, the Bruins blueline responded with a pair of goals as Dominic Perrault and Tyler Poskus scored for Estevan as the Bruins lead 5-2 after two periods. Perrault had a strong game last night as he was a physical force all night as he played the body and continued to be more aggressive offensively as well. Perrault was paired with Tyler Kauk last night and the pair was dominant all night for the Bruins at both ends of the ice and it will be interesting to see if they're paired together in the playoffs.
It was a tale of two tales in the third period, with the opening ten minutes featuring great back an forth action and very few whistles. Weyburn scored to make the score 5-3 before they ran into penalty troubles, giving the Bruins four powerplay opportunities and AP Darcy Deroose from the Moose Jaw Generals of the Sask AAA Midget league scored his first SJHL goal late in the third. Deroose and Dylan Johner didn't look out of place in their debuts, Johner picked up an assist for his first SJHL point.
Tyler Ross picked up the win with 29 saves in the win for the Bruins. The Bruins will close out the regular season tomorrow night when they host the Red Wings and you can catch the game on CJ1280 beginning at 7:20.
After the game last night I spoked with Bruins Head Coach Keith Cassidy.
