The Flin Flon Bombers were able to exact a little revenge on the Melfort Mustangs after losing to them in the league final just a few months back.

 

The Bombers who trailed 1-0 after two periods last night , mounted the comeback and came back to beat Melfort 2 to 1 in pre season action last night at the Northern Lights Palace.

 

This was an all rookie affair as the Mustangs were playing their first pre season game and Flin Flon improved to 3-0.

 

Eric Han got the Bombers on the board with his first goal of the pre season at the 6:44 mark of the third period.

 

Flin Flon would get a late powerplay and also pulled the goalie to go 6 on 4 and it worked as Leo Seitz would score with just over 5 minutes remaining and that stood up as the game winner.

 

Seits was one of the Bomber key signings this year and played the last couple of years with the Saskatoon Blazers of the Sask U-18 AAA program.

 

Melfort got their lone goal from Walker Overwater midway through the second period.

 

Massimo Urbani got the start in goal for Flin Flon last night and the Bombers wanted to see what he could do as he only had to face three shots in his last game against Laronge on Friday.

 

Urbani stood tall and made 25 saves on 26 shots. Josh Henry got the start for Melfort and he played well stopping 25 out of 27.

 

Next up will be the battle of Northern Manitoba as the Bombers will face off with the Northern Manitoba Blizzard. The Blizz are also 3-0 in the pre season and are coming off one of their most successful years in recent memory.

 

The first game will take place at the Roy H Johnston Arena in the Pas this Wednesday at 7pm, before heading back to Flin Flon for the rematch at the Whitney Forum on Friday at 7:30.

 

Both games will be broadcast on 102.9 CFAR and flinflononline.com with the pre game show both nights starting 20 minutes before puck drop.
