The Flin Flon Bombers wrapped up November in style with an impressive 6 to 3 win over the Yorkton Terriers Saturday night  at the Whitney Forum.

 

After a tough October that saw Flin Flon go 4-8, the Bombers rebounded and were a perfect 7-0 in November.

 

Even without high flying forward  Carter Anderson who elected to head out to the BCHL, the Bombers were able to score six goals on a very good team.

 

It took the Bombers just over five minutes in to get on the board when Koen Senft took a rebound off the post and beat Terrier netminder Callum Creig with his 7th of the season.

 

17 year old Wyatt Stinton was back in the lineup after a 7 game suspension and he looked great, firing a beautiful slapshot over Creig's left shoulder for his second of the season to put the B'S up 2 to 0.

 

This was the best game I have seen Stinton play in a Bomber uniform and he competed hard and had plenty of chances all night.

 

Flin Flon held a 2 to 0 lead coming out for the second and some sloppy defense allowed the Terriers to get back in the game.

 

David Coyle and William Leonard took advantage of a couple of Bomber give aways and they tied the game early in the second.

 

Matthew Kieper made a couple of big saves to keep the Bombers in it and they were able to eventually  get back on track.

 

Rhett Ewen who has been playing some great hockey gave his team the lead when he grabbed his own rebound and picked up his third of the year on a nice feed from Stinton.

 

 

That sparked the Bombers who kept coming and scored three more goals before the period was complete from Keefe Gruener (8), Leighton Carruthers (2) and Carter Cormier (8).

 

Flin Flon took a 6 to 2 lead into the third period and tightend up defensively giving up just the one goal to Jye Zawatsky who scored a late 5 on 3 goal for his 6th of the year.

 

The third period was a steady stream  to the penalty box for the Bombers who ended up killing 6 out of 8 powerplays for Yorkton. Flin Flon went 0 for 3.

 

Matthew Kieper continued his stellar play and made 38 saves on 41 shots and is now a perfect 5-0 since arriving from the WHL. Despite giving up 6 goals on 43 shots, Callum Creig also  played very well and did everything he could to keep his team in the game.

 

After Saturday's win the Bombers are now 13-9-1 and trail third place Weyburn and Battleford by just one point. Flin Flon is only 2 points out of second behind Melville who they will see for the first time this weekend.

 

Melville will make their way to the Whitney Forum on Friday and Saturday and you will be able to listen to Saturday's game on 102.9 CFAR and flinflononline.com.

 

The Great North GM Coach's Show is set to go at 7:10 with drop of the puck for Creighton Furniture at 7:30.
