Matt Bill scored the tying goal on a power play with less than 13 minutes to go to give the Estevan Apex Bruins a 3-3 draw against the Weyburn Wings on Friday at Affinity Place.

Cole Piche and Peyton Stevenson also scored for the Bruins, who had seven players with at least a point.

The Bruins (7-10-2) are in ninth place in the South Saskatchewan Minor Hockey League's midget AA division.

Weyburn struck first on Friday, getting two goals from Conor LaFoy in the first period, including one just 29 seconds in.

Piche got Estevan on the board 52 seconds after the second LaFoy goal.

After a scoreless second period, the Bruins tied it up four minutes into the third on a Peyton Stevenson tally.

Ben Hiltz restored Weyburn's lead less than three minutes later, only for Bill to tie it up for good 32 seconds after that.

Landon Audet was in goal for the Bruins.

Estevan went 1-for-7 on the power play, while Weyburn was scoreless in seven chances.

Meanwhile, on Dec. 1, the Bruins fell 3-2 to the Notre Dame Hounds in Wilcox.

Ciaran Kennedy, Nimkees Bailey-Lee and C.J. Walker had the goals for the Hounds, with Colton Winton and Wyatt Bayliss replying for Estevan.

Shots on goal were 37-29 for the Bruins.

Estevan's next game is on Dec. 19 when they host the Yorkton Terriers.
