The Flin Flon Bombers take on the Notre Dame Hounds tonight in what is now a best-of-three quarter-final series.

It's been a back-and-forth series, with Flin Flon losing games 1 and 3 but winning games 2 and 4 to even the series 2-2.

Adam Beukeboom is widely expected to get the start tonight following a winning 35-save performance in Wednesday's Game 4.

Prior to that, Beukeboom had played all of Game 1, was pulled in favour of Simon Hofley early in Game 2 and came in to relieve Hofley in Game 3.

Beukeboom has a 3.10 goals-against average and a 0.916 save-percentage, though he has arguably played better than his stats suggest.

The Bombers have been scoring by committee, with a dozen different players registering one or more points through the first four games.

Star winger Brett Boehm leads the way with six points (1G, 5A). Parker Evans-Campbell, Chris Rauckman and Austin Evans each have three goals.

For the Hounds, wingers Jared Martin and Carter HIkichi have been on fire, each registering seven points.

Alexi Thibaudeau has played every minute in the Notre Dame net, recording a 3.72 goals-against average and a 0.890 save-percentage.

Following Game 5 tonight, the Bombers return to Flin Flon for Game 6 at the Whitney Forum on Sunday. Thereminder.ca will have coverage of both games.
