The Estevan Bruins recent run of success came to an end Friday night in a 5-4 loss to the La Ronge Ice Wolves at Affinity Place.
The Bruins scored in the opening minute of the contest, thanks to the efforts of Griffin Asham-Moroz. They continued to play strong, and would outshoot the Ice Wolves 14-7 in the frame.
But the Ice Wolves would seize a 2-1 advantage at one point, thanks to a power play goal by Kyle Ford and a point shot by Dylan Thackeray.
Tyler Savage scored on a power play with 89 seconds left in the first to tie the game.
Aaron Greyeyes’ power play goal 41 seconds into the second period put the Ice Wolves back in the lead, but Austin King-Cunningham tied the game again late in the second with a power play goal of his own.
Jordan Mish gave the Ice Wolves the lead with a tally 61 seconds into the third period, and it remained a 4-3 game until 10 seconds remained when Jake Gudjonson scored into an empty net.
It proved to be the winning goal, as Savage scored with one second to play to make it a one-goal margin.
Randy Cooke made 22 saves for Estevan in the loss. Liam McGarva had 29 saves for La Ronge.
The Bruins will be back on the ice Tuesday when they visit the Yorkton Terriers.
