Finn Werner was fantastic and he stopped all 33 shots fired in his direction as the Flin Flon Bombers blanked the Weyburn Red Wings 3 to 0 last night at the White Cap Resources Centre.

 

This will help avenge a 4 to 2 loss in Melville the night before.

 

After a scoreless first period, Ryan Ulmer scored his first of the season just over two minutes into the second frame in what would stand up as the game winner.

 

Werner did the rest and was one of the big  keys for the Bomber victory.

 

Rhett Ewen scored the other two goals,  and his first one was a beauty where he was able to finish off a nice tik tak toe play with his linemate Ryder Mucha. Brayden Bruce started the play when he was able to find Mucha at the side of the Weyburn net, before Mucha flipped the puck out  front  to Ewen who was able to tap it in.

 

Ewen would score again with  a big insurance goal late in the second period to give Flin Flon the 3 to 0 lead going into the final period. There was no scoring in the third period.

 

Neither team could muster anything on the powerplay with the Bombers going 0 for 7 while the Wings wound up 0 for 4.

 

With the win,  Flin Flon will improve to 3 -1 on the season and Weyburn will fall to 3-2.

 

Today is the day where the Bombers will have to complete the Humboldt trade from last year's deadline that sent Charlie Tritt, Ryder Knutson and Connor Miller to the Bombers for their Championship run.

 

Miller's rights reverted back to the Broncos this season and three additional players from Flin Flon's roster will be sent to the Broncos. The trade go's down today but will not be announced til Sunday.

 

Flin Flon will get a much deserved day off today before making their way to Affinity Place to face the Estevan Bruins as their Southern road swing will continue on Friday night.

 

Then on Saturday,  it will be a rematch of the Canterra Seeds Cup final from this past spring as the Bombers will face the Yorkton Terriers where they won their first League Title in 33 years.

 

No doubt there will be a lot of emotion in Yorkton and I am sure the Terriers will be up for this one.

 

After wrapping up the 4 game road trip on Saturday the Bombers will return to the Whitney Forum to face the Estevan Bruins next Friday and Saturday at the Whitney Forum.
