The Bombers avenged their Friday night loss to La Ronge Saturday, going into the rival team's barn and winning 5-2.
Ryder Ringor got the party started for Flin Flon early in the first, getting his second goal of the season to open the scoring. Zane Normand would answer back not long after, tying the game up with his second goal of the weekend.
In the second, Flin Flon snagged the lead just 14 seconds in, with Keefe Gruener as Johnny on the spot in front, snapping a quick shot past Falk to make it 2-1. David Vitt would tie things up later in the period on a powerplay, getting his first goal in Canadian junior hockey, but the Bombers would retake the lead moments later and never give it up.
Evin Bossel took a feed near the La Ronge net on a rush and made no mistake, getting his first junior goal and pulling Flin Flon ahead by one. La Ronge dug their grave deeper late in the period, with the Wolves taking a pair of penalties on one play and gifting Flin Flon a 5-on-3 - one where Koen Senft capitalized, firing one past Falk from the right circle. The Bombers entered the third up two, then Gruener put it on ice with a one-timer late in the final frame.
A handful of Bombers hit career milestones during the game - Bossel got his first goal and first point, while both Ryder Mucha and Wyatt Stinton got their first junior points with their hometown team, each snagging an assist. Newcomer Carter Cormier also got his first point in a Bomber sweater, an assist on Gruener's first goal.
Another milestone came for goalie Massimo Urbani, who earned his first junior hockey win during a quiet night in the Bomber crease. The Coquitlam, BC native needed to make only 12 saves for the win, while Falk, playing the second half of a back-to-back, saved 41 Bomber shots - between his two games against the Bombers on the weekend, he made a whopping 80 saves.
This week, the Bombers will embark on their first of two southern swings - a gruelling four-games-in-five-nights road trip through southern Saskatchewan. The trip will start with a game Oct. 1 against the surging Yorkton Terriers, who have won each of their first four games, then will continue with games against three teams that so far have gone winless - Notre Dame Oct. 2, Weyburn Oct. 4 and Estevan Oct. 5.
