The Estevan Sherritt Coal Bruins began the second half of their regular season schedule with a strong weekend against the Swift Current Broncos, earning three of four points at Spectra Place.

The peewee AA team tied the Broncos 2-2 on Saturday and edged them 4-3 on Sunday.

Estevan (3-7-2) and Swift Current (3-11-2) are tied for fourth place in the South Saskatchewan Minor Hockey League, but the Bruins have four games in hand.

On Sunday, Dawson Schaff scored twice in the last two minutes of the game to help the Bruins overcome a 3-0 deficit after one period.

Matt Christianson, Aaron Toews and Levi Lamotte scored for Swift Current in the first period, with Lamotte's goal being a potential backbreaker with 18 seconds left in the frame.

Alex Von Sprecken got the Bruins on the board just past the midway point of the second period.

A power play goal by Mason Strutt drew the Bruins within a goal 31 seconds into the third, but most of the period went by without the home side finding the tying marker.

That changed in a hurry with less than two minutes left.

Schaff tied the game with 1:47 left in regulation, and there was barely time for that goal to be announced as he scored again 11 seconds later to win it.

Justin Hertes started the game for the Bruins, but came out in favour of Bryson Garton after the first period.

Saturday's game also had a dramatic finish, with Ryland Hornung scoring the tying goal for Swift Current with just two seconds left.

Cale Adams had put the Bruins ahead 2-1 six minutes into the third period.

After a scoreless first period, the clubs traded goals 13 seconds apart late in the second.

Reed Jacobson broke the ice for the Broncos with 1:52 left in the period, only for Estevan's Cody Davis to respond shortly after.

Garton was in goal for the Bruins.

The team will travel to Yorkton this weekend for games on Saturday and Sunday against the second-place Terriers.
