The Blizzard now move to 3-2 in the preseason after last night’s 6-3 thumping of Flin Flon. Renat Nahnieiev opened the scoring early in the first by netting his second goal of the preseason. However, Flin Flon’s Brendan Phelps and Jack Martin got the Bombers on the board to close out the first, making the tally 2-1 heading into the second.

The second period saw Liam Carlone and Matthew O’Sullivan put up a total of three unanswered goals to make the score 5-2. Early in the final frame, both Carlone and Justin Whitrow scored back-to-back power-play goals to give the Blizz a four-goal advantage. Flin Flon’s Brendan Phelps would pot his second goal of the night late in the third, but it was too little, too late as the final score would be 6-3 for Northern Manitoba.

The Blizz are back in action tonight for their preseason finale against the Bombers. Puck drop is slated for 7:00 p.m., and 102.9 CJAR will be broadcasting tonight’s game in its entirety.
