Bruins Inch Closer to First in Sherwood!

The Estevan Bruins completed their three game road trip tonight in North Battleford as they dumped the North Stars 5-2. Two of the newer acquisitions, Liam Brennan and Trevor Mock, each had two goals for the Bruins. Kyle Ermel added a goal and an assist for the Bruins who also got assists from Riley Tetreault, Kyle Garagan, Brody Haygarth, Brennan Wrigley, Niko Grose and Chad Filteau. Payden Benning, the Bruins leading scorer, was not dressed on Sunday night. John Midtdal, with his first SJHL goal, and Tony Oak scored for the Stars. Makstr Lacoursiere added an assist. Guillaume Perusse made the start on goal for the Bruins and turned aside 23 of 25 shots he faced. Adrien Lemay also made 23 saves for the Stars. The game saw it's share of power play opportunities but neither team did a lot with the PP on this night. The Bruins improve to 10-5-2-0 and are now only one point back of the Melville Millionaires for first. However, the Bruins have played two more games than Melville. The Stars struggles continue as they are now 2-12-1-1.
