Bruins Look to Even With Series With Red Wings

The Estevan Bruins will be looking to strike back in their series with the Weyburn Red Wings tonight at Spectra Place in Game 2 of their best of 7 series.

The Bruins played a solid game on Friday night never trailing during the regulation but with 26 seconds left in the third period, the Red Wings Carter Struhers buried a shot past Steven Glass to tie the game up, and then in overtime it was Miguel Pereria scored for the Red Wings to give the Wings the 1-0 series lead.

The Bruins will be looking for secondary scoring to help out the Bruins top line of Dylan Smith- Calder Neufeld- and Cole Olson. While the other lines generated plenty of opportunities none of them were able to find the back of the net. When guys like Matt Brykaliuk and Tanner Froese score for the Bruins it seems like they find a way to win.

The Bruins defensively did a great job of shutting down the Red Wings top line of Jesse Ross, Keegan Bruce and Coltyn Sanderson with the trio unable to score in game one. The Bruins will need to limit the line again tonight if they want to draw even. Tonight we can expect the line of Josh Jelinski- Tyler Paslawski and Derek Whitehill (if Matthew Dochylo doesn't play) to shut down that line, also expect Dominic Perrault and Tyler Kauk matched up against that line.

You can catch tonight's game on CJ1280 and discoverestevan.com beginning at 5:45 with the opening faceoff at 6:00. Game 3 will be in Weyburn on Tuesday and we'll have coverage beginning at 7:15.
