Keenan Rancier made 28 saves and Jayden Davis scored twice in the Estevan Bruins 3-0 win over the Nipawin Hawks on Saturday night at Affinity Place.

The game was scoreless until late in the second period, when Jayden Davis scored on a power play to give the Bruins a 1-0 lead.

Isaiah Thomas scored midway through the third to double the advantage, and Davis added his second of the game into an empty net.

The shutout was the first of Rancier’s junior A career. Among his 28 saves in the game were 12 in the third period.

The win ended the Bruins five-game losing streak.

It was one of the Bruins strongest efforts of the year against a Nipawin team that had lost just twice prior to the game. 

Next week’s edition of the Mercury will have more on this story.
