The Flin Flon Bombers are flying high after two more convincing wins on the weekend.

 

The Kindersley Klippers made their way to the Whitney Forum for  the first time this season in a battle between two of the league’s power house teams.

 

The Bombers played 5 dominant periods over the weekend after a bit of a rough start on Friday.

 

Kindersley came out and quieted the crowd and led the Bombers 2 to 0 after the opening period on goals from Brock Evans and Pryce Thiessen. Flin Flon made some adjustments and came out and dominated the rest of the game and scored six straight goals for a 6 to 2 win.

 

Defenseman Sam Ward led the way with a pair of goals for his 5^th and 6^th of the season. His first goal midway through the second period was an absolute laser beam that beat Brett O’Halloran over his left shoulder and seemed to spark the club.

 

Wyatt Stinton (5), Maverick Deslisle(9), Ryder Mucha (7) and Jack Martin rounded out the scoring .

 

Finn Werner picked up his third straight win between the pipes and stopped 18 out of 20 and the reigning Sask Milk SJHL Rookie Of The Week winner,   has staggering numbers in those three  wins  including a GAA of 1.67 and Save % of .921.

 

Klipper netminder Brett O’Halloran kept his team in it and was their best player making 34 saves on 39 shots, with one of the Bomber goals scored into the empty net.

 

Head Coach and GM, Mike Reagan wanted to see a better start from his team on Saturday and he got that as the Bombers came flying out of the gate.

 

Landon Alexander intercepted a Kindersley pass and went in alone on O’Halloran and beat him low glove side along the post for his 6^th of the year short handed to open the scoring.

 

Alexander gets a lot of attention because of all the great hits he throws, but he is also a brilliant skater and is becoming one of the best players for the Bombers night after night.

 

Flin Flon carried the 1 to 0 lead into the second and got a couple more goals from Keaton Lesperance (2) and Sam Ward with his second in as many nights to give him seven on the season.

 

The Bombers looked like they were in control heading into the third period with a 3 to 0 lead but the Klippers would finally get one past Devin Peck who got the start Saturday.

 

Kindersley captain Will Christian was able to fight off a couple Bomber defenders and make his way to the net and shovelled a shot over Peck’s right shoulder to get his team back in the game.

 

Flin Flon responded shortly after on the powerplay when Joey Lies was left alone in front of the Kindersey net and potted his team leading 16^th of the season. It was also Lies 8^th powerplay goal which also leads the team.

 

That is all the offense Flin Flon would need as they picked up the 4 to 1 win and swept the weekend series. Devin Peck was successful in his return to the crease making 23 saves on 24 shots with some timely saves in the third.

 

Brett O’Halloran was brilliant yet again and faced a lot of rubber with 55 saves on 59 shots and the score should of been much worse. O’Halloran was under siege for most of the game and made some breath taking stops to keep his team in a game where they were severely over played.

 

November couldn’t of went much better for the Bombers who went 10-1 throughout the month and are all alone in first place at 17-7-0-1, good for 35 points.

 

Flin Flon has also been very dominant at home and are a perfect 11-0 at the Whitney Forum.

 

Kindersley will fall to 12-7-2-5 and are tied with Nipawin and Estevan for third overall.

 

Speaking of Nipawin, that is who the Bombers will face next in a home and home this weekend. Friday the Bombers travel to the Cage and will return the favour on Saturday at the Whitney Forum.

 

This should be a great challenge for the Maroon and White as the Hawks are also rolling and have won 4 in a row and are 7-2-1 in their last ten games.

 

Flin Flon leads the season series 2 to 1 and were impressive in their last game against the Hawks,  taking it to them 5 to 1 at the Whitney Forum back on November the 1^st.

 

Good luck to Bomber forward Wyatt Stinton and Trainer Jason Savill who will be part of Canada West for the World JR A Challenge in Trois – Rivieres starting December the 7^th.
