The CanElson Drilling Estevan Bruins regular season ended with some bad luck as they were defeated by the Weyburn Red Wings 4-2, the Bruins end their season with a .500 record (28-28-0-2) and lost the season series to Weyburn (5-3)
The Bruins opened up the scoring in the first period as Matthew Dochylo drove to the net drawing a penalty against the Red Wings, with the extra attacker on the ice Josh Jelinski found Tyler Paslawski in front of the net and Paslawski delivered his 11th goal of the season to give the Bruins a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes of play.
In the second, Weyburn tied the game when Jesse Ross scored his 46th goal of the season for the Red Wings. The Bruins would regain the lead when Matt Brykaliuk found Tanner Froese along in front and Froese scored his 14th goal of the year to give the Bruins a 2-1 lead after two periods.
Weyburn responded in the third on the powerplay as Kyle Olenuik scored for the Red Wings on a loose scramble in front of the Bruins Tyler Ross to tie the game at 2-2. That's how the score remained until just over four minutes left when the Red Wing's Keegan Bruce attempted pass went off a Bruins skate and past Ross and the Red Wings grabbed the lead for good with a 3-2 lead. Miguel Pereria would add an empty netter to finish off the scoring.
After the game Bruins Head Coach Keith Cassidy noted that he was happy with the team's effort and was dissappointed that the Bruins lost because of a bad bounce. He pointed out the play of the Bruins AP's Connor Venne and Rhett Handley and said the Bruins future is looking bright.
With Tyler Ross starting for the second straight game on the weekend, it appears that Ross will get the start for Friday's game but he noted that no decision has been made as of yet. The total attendence for tonight's game was 2,115.
The Bruins will now open the Survivor Series on Friday against Notre Dame, you can catch the game on CJ1280 beginning at 7:20.
After the game I spoke with Bruins Head Coach Keith Cassidy about the game.
