It was a goaltending battle of the ages last night between the Flin Flon Bombers Finn Werner and Yorkton Terriers Callum Craig.

 

Both these young men stood on their heads and put on quite the show last night at the Whitney Forum.

 

Yorkton was able to get a little revenge after dropping the Canterra Seeds Cup Final last Spring as they came away with the  exciting 2 to 1 win last night.

 

The Bombers struck first when Nathan Lalumiere converted a nice flip pass from Landon Alexander to open the scoring midway through the first period. Little did the Bombers know that would be the only puck to beat Craig for the rest of the night.

 

Yorkton would tie the game in the second when Mathys Morrisette would bang home his 9th of the season when he took advantage of a great pass from Tyson Medernach.

 

The game would be decided early in the third period when Aidan Vallance raced down the ice and fired a shot high blocker side on the Bombers Werner, and Dylan Brass picked up the rebound for the eventual game winner.

 

Flin Flon got a lot of good chances to tie the game,  but Callum Craig was in the zone and looked as good as I have ever seen him. It was one highlight reel save after another as Craig ended up with 35 saves on 36 shots. He made 13 alone in the third period.

 

Not to be out done was Flin Flon netminder Finn Werner,  who was also tested often and ended up with 29 saves on 31 shots. Werner also made a lot of acrobatic saves and was the Bombers best player last night.

 

With the loss,  the Bombers remain in a log jam with Melfort, Melville and Weyburn for second overall with 23 points. Flin Flon's record will fall to 11-6-1.

 

With the Terriers winning last night they will improve to 8-6-1-1 and have moved to within one point of Nipawin for 7th overall.

 

The Bombers will now get a 7 day break and won't be on the ice til next Tuesday November the 17th when Nipawin comes to town for the first time this season.
