The Flin Flon Bombers return to the ice tonight after a 5 day break to face a very dangerous Weyburn Red Wings team at the Whitney Forum  that have scored 35 goals in their last 5 games.

 

After dropping their first four games of the year,  the Wings have reeled off 5 straight wins including a 9 to 1 thumping in Nipawin on Wednesday night.

 

Weyburn is led offensively by the recent additions of Jerome Maharaj, Ethan Delkay amd Jaxson Ruthven who have 13 goals between them since returning from the BCHL. They have been lethal and are as good as any other forward group in the league.

 

Another big factor has been the play of 19 year old goaltender Angelo Zol who is 4-2 with a gaa of 2.85 and a save % of .919.

 

The Bombers did beat the Wings in Weyburn back on October the 4th, but the Wings are a totally different team now than they were then.

 

Flin Flon is coming off a split with the Melfort Mustangs from last weekend,  where they won on Friday 6 to 3 at home before heading to Melfort and losing 4 to 1 on Saturday.

 

The Bombers continue to plat games with a depleted lineup including injuries to Keefe Gruener and Kylynn Olafson and suspensions to Austin Parsons and Reid Arberry.

 

Massimo Urbani who has been a pleasant surprise in goal and has been sick all week will not be able to go this weekend so Kenny Marquart who is trying to find his game will start tonight.
