The Flin Flon Bombers will put their two game winning streak on the line as they hit the West Central Events Centre tonight to face  a much improved Kindersley Klipper team.

 

This will be the first meeting between these two clubs since the opening round of the playoffs from this past spring which saw the Bombers sweep them in four straight games.

 

After a real slow start, Flin Flon has won back to back games for just the second time this season after knocking off Melfort 6 to 2 on Friday and a 5 to 1 win in Nipawin on Saturday.

 

The Bombers are finally healthy and are very happy to have their captain Keefe Gruener back in the lineup. Gruener has 13 points in 10 games and is one of the best faceoff men in the entire league. Head Coach and GM Mike Reagan also mentioned they really missed his leadership.

 

With the additions of two more 20 year old's, goaltender Matthew Kieper and forward Leighton Carruthers, the Bombers feel they are ready to make a move.

 

High flying forward Carter Anderson is also starting to find the back of the net and leads the team with 10 goals and 16 points in 14 games. Anderson is coming off 4 goals in his last 3 games.

 

Kindersley is led offensively by a couple of rookies in Jaxon Herchak and Rylan Wieler who have combined for 29 points.

 

The big story for the Klippers may be their rookie goalie Brett O'Hallorin who leads the league in wins with 10. O'Hallorin also has decent numbers to go along with that including a GAA of 2.95 and a SV % of .906.

 

Flin Flon will most likely split the duties between incumbent Kenny Marquart fresh off a 23 save win  against Nipawin on Saturday and newly acquired Matthew Kieper who made 24 saves to beat Melfort in his Bomber debut last Friday.

 

This is definately a big weekend for Flin Flon if they want to move up the standings,  as they trail the Klippers by 3 points with Kindersley having a game in hand. Laronge currently leads the Bombers by 2 points with Flin Flon having two games in hand.

 

Both games will start at 7:30 tonight and tomorrow at the West Central Events Centre.
