The Eagle Sky Estevan Bruins return to the ice at Affinity Place Friday, for their final home game of the preseason, to open a home-and-home with the Manitoba Junior Hockey League’s (MJHL) Virden Oil Capitals.
The Bruins enter their third-of-four preseason games with a 1-1-0 record, coming off a home-and-home split with the Weyburn Red Wings earlier in the week, which saw the team bounce-back from a 10-3 loss Tuesday to win 5-1 in their return to Affinity Place.
Veteran centerman, Noah Asmundson leads the Bruins with four points (3G, 1A) through two preseason games, coming off a monster 2G, 1A performance in Wednesday night’s 5-1 win on home ice. Also among the players to watch for the Bruins Friday is rookie forward Cash Olson, who enters the weekend fresh off a three-point (1G, 2A) showing in his preseason debut, while using his speed to create havoc all over the ice.
Virden is 2-2-0 through four preseason games, coming off a home-and-home split of their own earlier in the week against the Portage Terriers, which saw the team win their Tuesday night game 8-1.
Winger Landon Hoilett led the way in the victory, posting a four-point game (2G, 2A) in his first exhibition action with the Oil Caps, while defenceman Maddox Shindle leads the club and sits T-3rd overall in the MJHL preseason scoring ranks with five points (1G, 4A) in two games.
