The Power Dodge Estevan Bruins lost a pair of games on the weekend, and will likely lose the services of their captain for a few games as well.
The Bruins (22-13-3-1) lost 4-2 to the Melfort Mustangs (24-7-4-1) Friday and 2-1 in overtime to the Humboldt Broncos (20-13-3-2) Saturday.
Bruins captain Jake Fletcher was dinged with a major penalty and game misconduct for a check from behind for a hit on Humboldt’s Derek Patter in the middle of the second period. Patter was helped off the ice and missed the balance of the period but returned for the third period.
In the net, Bo Didur made 28 saves in the loss Saturday and Matt Lukacs stopped 23 Friday.
The Bruins’ next action is Wednesday at home to the Kindersley Klippers (15-15-2-2).
