Devin Peck stopped 21 shots and was good when he needed to be as the Flin Flon Bombers picked up the 3 to 1 win last night against the Yorkton Terriers at the Whitney Forum.

 

Once again the Bombers started quickly with Joey Lies picking up his team leading 9th of the season, just over six minutes into the opening period.

 

Sam Ward would score on the powerplay at the end of the first period which would put the Bombers up 2 to 0 and stood up as the eventual game winner.

 

Another powerplay marker by Reid Arberry in the second period  would add a little insurance.

 

The Terriers finally got a puck past Peck early in the third period when defenseman Zacharay Hertz fired a shot under the bar off the faceoff to give Yorkton some life.

 

Peck and the Bombers shut down the Terriers the rest of the way and are now unbeaten in their last four games. Flin Flon also snapped Yorkton's three game winning streak.

 

Specialty teams were huge with the Bombers going 2 for 5 on the powerplay while Yorkton was 0 for 3.

 

Flin Flon fired 37 shots at Callum Craig who steady and kept his team in it, especially early.

 

With the win the Bombers leap frog the Terriers for 6th overall with 19 points to improve to 9-6-1, one point behind 5th place Estevan and two points behind fourth place Nipawin.

 

A good test for the Maroon and White as they head to Melfort tonight to face the defending league champion Mustangs. This will be the Bombers first visit to Melfort and you can hear all the action on 102.9 CFAR and flinflononline.com starting with the Great North GM Coach's Show at 7:10.
