The Estevan TS&M Bruins faced two of the worst teams in the Saskatchewan Bantam AA Hockey League on the weekend, and the results were predictable.
The Bruins won both road games, shutting out the West Central Wheat Kings on Saturday in Dodsland and trouncing the Battlefords Barons 10-3 on Sunday.
Estevan (15-9-3) is currently holding down third place in the SBAAHL's south division.
The Bruins came out firing on Sunday, taking a 5-0 lead after the first period.
Preston Brodziak opened the scoring less than five minutes in, followed by a Cole Fonstad marker.
The Bruins followed that up with three goals in a span of 2:10, as Josh Skjonsby, Hayden Cutler and Fonstad all found the back of the net to give the visitors a five-goal lead.
Rett Taggart got the Barons on the board early in the second period, but Estevan's Brayden Pachal replied less than two minutes later.
Logan Spence's goal for Battlefords 63 seconds after that closed the Estevan lead to 6-2 after 40 minutes of play.
The Bruins' offensive onslaught continued in the third, as Cutler and Brodziak each scored in the first five minutes.
Taggart scored again for the Barons at the eight-minute mark to make it 8-3.
Skjonsby's second of the day and Brodziak's third closed it out for Estevan in the final five minutes.
The Bruins outshot the Barons 41-29. Goaltender Jeremy Dumaine earned the win.
On Saturday, the Bruins scored three power play goals to launch them past the Wheat Kings.
Fonstad scored twice in the first period, one coming seven minutes in and the other on a power play 90 seconds later.
Wyatt Haux made it 3-0 on another man advantage less than seven minutes into the second.
In the third period, it was Pachal scoring the winner on a power play with two minutes remaining.
Ethan Veroba picked up the shutout in goal.
The Bruins return to action this weekend, visiting the Melville Millionaires in Moosomin on Saturday. They also visit the Regina Foxes on Monday.
