There was no shortage of goals for either team on Thursday, as the Estevan TS&M Bruins and Regina Monarchs battled to a 6-6 tie in the provincial capital.
Bruins defenceman Brayden Pachal scored with 2:24 to play to give the visitors a point.
The bantam AA Bruins (17-9-4) are in third place in the south division of the Saskatchewan Bantam AA Hockey League with one regular season game left, that coming Friday in Yorkton against the Terriers.
The Monarchs (7-19-3) are in ninth place.
Estevan fell behind by four goals before fighting back to earn the draw.
Thomas Goldade scored twice for the Monarchs in the first period, and they got two more in the first eight minutes of the second, with Joel Hansen and Lukas Sillinger scoring six minutes apart to put Regina ahead 4-0.
The Bruins got on the board 44 seconds after the Sillinger goal, with Cole Fonstad scoring on a power play.
Estevan got back in it late in the period, as Pachal and Jayden Davis scored shorthanded markers just 11 seconds apart in the final minute.
Shae Little scored five minutes into the third to even the score at four.
The Monarchs countered nine seconds later on a goal by Dyson Nordwick-Chan.
Estevan captain Josh Skjonsby got that one back with the team's third shorthanded goal of the night.
Regina's Matthew Tress put them back on top 90 seconds later, only for Pachal to close out the scoring.
Jeremy Dumaine was in goal for the Bruins.
If they hold off Weyburn (five points back with three games left) for third place, the Bruins will play either the Regina Pat Blues, Melville Millionaires or Weyburn in the first round of the SBAAHL playoffs.
