Flin Flon is back in the win column after a 4-2 win over Estevan.

The Bombers benefitted from two first period goals by Caleb Franklin and Chrystopher Collin. In the second period, Austin King-Cunningham broke through for Estevan, sneaking a hard slap-shot past Bomber goalie Jacob Delorme.

In the third, the Bombers took control when Vincent Nardone put a seeing-eye shot past Bruins netminder Grant Boldt. Late in the third, with Boldt pulled and the Bruins using an extra attacker, Michael McChesney put the Bruins within one. However, that wouldn't last long - Brandson Hein caught a Bruins defender flatfooted, stealing the puck and beating Boldt to give Flin Flon a 4-2 lead and ending the scoresheet. It was Hein's seventh goal in his past five games and his 18th goal in 17 games this season.

Delorme ended the night with the win and 39 saves. Boldt, the reigning SJHL Goalie of the Week, took the L after a 32 save showing.

The Bombers will face the Weyburn Red Wings at home on Saturday night in a rematch of a game that ended with a goalie fight and more than 200 minutes in penalties earlier this month.
