Bruins beat Stars, lose to Klippers Team acquires Clark, trades McLachlan, loses DeRoose to Everett On Friday, they were badly outplayed by the Battlefords North Stars and won. The next night, they doubled the Kindersley Klippers in shots and lost. None of it made any sense, but the CanElson Drilling Estevan Bruins will take the three points. The Bruins extended their winning streak to five games with a 3-2 shootout victory over the Stars, but it ended Saturday with a 2-1 overtime loss to the Klip-
pers. They had also edged the Yorkton Terriers 3-2 in overtime on Oct. 29. “I’m proud of the guys. They battled through some adversity and they’ve got nothing to hang their heads about,” said head coach and general manager Chris Lewgood following the loss to Kindersley. The Bruins had to kill off three penalties handed out in a span of 50 seconds early in the third period just to get to overtime, result-
ing in a full two-minute 5-on-3 for Kindersley. They included a contentious hitting from behind penalty on Corey Kosloski and a crosschecking call on Brett Blatz that Lewgood described as terrible. “In fairness to the referee, it was a huge dive. The player sold it really well and it was very obvious from my angle that it was a dive. Unfortunately, the referee wasn’t standing where I was and he may
not have been able to see it from where he was. I was disappointed in the call, disappointed a player would do that. That’s not how we like to win hockey games, that’s for sure. It was a blatant dive in my opinion. I thought to put our guys down on an extended 5-on-3 like that, I was shocked.” Giovanni Bombini would win it for the Klippers 3:53 into overtime, deking netminder Matt Gib-
ney stick side on a break. Tristan Sieben scored Kindersley’s lone regulation goal just 44 seconds into the contest. Wyatt Garagan tied the game less than four minutes into the third period, pinpointing a shot off the left post and past Klippers goalie Evan Weninger. That was the only goal Weninger surrendered on 52 shots in a spectacular outing. Still, Lewgood said
his club could have given the tender a tougher job, noting that “we threw too much right at him.” The coach added that with the Klippers sitting at 10-2-1 entering the game, his players “gave them a little too much respect in the first five minutes” but settled in after that. On Friday, meanwhile, Austin Daae fired home a bouncing centring pass from Lynnden Pastachak Bruins ⇢ B4

McLellan made it 2-0 at 13:45, and Jenna Grube added to the lead at the 16:28 mark.
