The CanElson Drilling Estevan Bruins had to pull another dramatic win as Zach MacLellan scored with 37 seconds left in regulation to give the Bruins a 3-2 win over the Notre Dame Hounds in Game 1 of the Survivor Series.
Steven Glass had to bail out the Bruins in the first period with some stellar goaltending as the Hounds outshot the Bruins 20-8 after the first period but the game remained scoreless after the opening 20 minutes. Here's a clip when the Bruins almost scored the opening goal, and then Notre Dame came and Glass had to make a sprawling stick save.
The Bruin would strike first blood in the second period on the powerplay, Calder Neufeld connected on the powerplay giving Estevan. The Bruins would cling to the 1-0 lead until late in the period when Notre Dame would go on a lengthy 5 on 3 as Greg Ferguson took advantage of a turnover and scored to even up the game after two.
In the third the Bruins jumped out to a lead once again as Austin Yano's point shot went off a stick right to Cole Olson and he scored for the Bruins to gain a 2-1 lead. The Hounds tied it up 5 minutes later as Mitch Boucher found Dayton Shaw in front and he outwaited to Glass and snuck a shot past him to tie the game at 2-2 which setted up for MacLellan's dramatics.
Glass ended up with 38 saves and was the biggest reason for the Bruins with several big time saves for the Bruins. Neufeld, Olson and Yano all had two points in the win for the Bruins.
After the game I spoke with Bruins Head Coach Keith Cassidy.
It's a quick turnaround for the series as it will now move to Wilcox for Game 2 of the series and you can catch it on CJ1280 and discoverestevan.com beginning at 6:45.
