The Flin Flon Bombers look like they have hit their groove with back to back wins in Kindersley this weekend.
Flin Flon went into Kindersley on Friday and held the home town Klippers to 26 shots in pulling out the 3 to 1 victory.
Rhett Ewen got a late goal in the first period and the Bombers never looked back. Carter Anderson scored the winning goal on the powerplay when he was left alone in front of the net early in the second for his team leading 11th of the season.
It looked like the Bombers were going to hold the Klippers off the score sheet, but veteran Zakery Anderson found the back of the net with just under three minutes remaining in the game.
Kindersley came hard looking for the equalizer but couldn't solve Bomber new comer Matthew Kieper who held the Klippers at bay making 25 saves in the game including 10 in the third period.
Ryder Ringor seeled it when he won a face-off late in the game and fired the puck down the ice into the empty net for his 8th of the season.
The Bombers took over right where they left off on Saturday and jumped out to a quick 2 to 0 lead in the first period.
Carter Cormier opened the scoring with his 7th of the year and Leighton Carruthers scored his first as a Bomber just a few minutes later.
You have to give the Klippers credit they battled back all night long. Odin George put a Bomber turn over into the back of the net to make it 2 to 1 after one.
Young 17 year old Emerson Clark scored his first goal as a Bomber, when he snuck a shot in from the point in front of a screened Cody Jaman to restore the two goal lead.
Flin Flon looked pretty good heading into the third with a two goal lead and seemed to have the Klippers where they wanted them.
Former Bomber Dawson Karol scored just 19 seconds into the final period, when he jumped on a loose puck in front of the Bomber net for his 9th of the year on the powerplay.
That sparked the Klippers who would tie the game with less than three minutes remaining on Cam Perlinger's fourth of the season.
This would force overtime with both teams trading some decent chances and it looked like we might be headed to the shootout.
With only 9 seconds to go Rydor Ringor sprung Carter Anderson for the break away and he went in alone and beat Cody Jaman with one of the nicest deekes I have seen all season.
Flin Flon shocked the West Central Events Centre winning in OT 4 to 3 and have now won 4 in a row.
The Bombers are now tied with Kindersley for 8th overall, the final playoff spot and are only one point behind Melville and two points behind Laronge and Humboldt.
Flin Flon will get a chance to try and make up some more ground as they will face the Nipawin Hawks in a home and home this weekend. Friday's game is at the Whitney Forum and the Bombers will travel to the Cage in Nipawin on Saturday.
We will broadcast Saturday's game on 102.9 CFAR and flinflononline.com beginning with the Great North GM Coach's Show at 6:40.
