Mils Regain Home Ice Advantage With Win!

The Melville Millionaires have tied up their best of seven series with the Kindersley Klippers at two games apiece after posting a 4-1 beating on the Klippers on Wednesday night.

The Millionaires changed up goaltenders tonight as Travis Bosch got the start and he did not disappoint turning aside 21 of 22 Kindersley shots. Joe Rodwell had started all of Melville's playoff games before tonight. Derek Edwards got Melville on the board with an unassisted marker just 55 seconds into the game to give the Mils an early jump. Brett Leedahl would answer on the power play for the Klippers just under three minutes later from Jonathan Redlick and Justin Perreaux. Dion Campbell would give Melville a 2-1 lead at the 9:08 mark of the second period from Edwards and Kale Dolinski. Jordan Wilson would add a power play goal four minutes later to make it 3-1 Mils through two periods of play. Daniel Hope would add a late third period power play goal from Levi Lind and Chris Shudo to put an exclamanation mark on the win.

In Flin Flon, home ice did not provide a cure what ails the Bombers as they were shutout 4-0 by the Humboldt Broncos. The Broncos take a commanding 3-0 series lead and have outscored the Bombers 13-1 through three games. Jordan Schindel had three assists for the Broncos to lead the way offensively. Brayden Klimosko added a goal and an assist with goals also going to Shawn Hunter, Laurent Benjamin and Steven Schroeder. Brady Wacker added two assists in the big Broncos win. Taylor Nelson picked up his second consecutive shutout and has a shutout string that goes back to early in the first period of Game 1. Nelson made 26 saves. Carsen Chubak got the start again for the Bombers, making 29 saves. Humboldt can wrap up the series tomorrow night in Flin Flon.
