The Estevan Apex midget AA Bruins picked up five of a possible six points during a three-game homestand on the weekend.

The Bruins (8-5-1) opened the weekend with a 4-2 victory over the Weyburn Wings on Friday night. Tanner Stovin opened the scoring for Estevan 1:42 into the second period for a 1-0 lead, but then Weyburn tied the game 31 seconds later and took the lead on a goal 2:18 after the tying goal. Neither team scored in the rest of the middle frame.

Brennan Stubel tied the game 5:45 into the third period, and then Stovin scored twice in 49 seconds in the final three minutes to lift the Bruins to victory.

The following night was a convincing 5-1 win over the Regina Rangers. Dylan Hull opened the scoring less than eight minutes into the first period, and Jared Fornwald doubled the advantage with five minutes to play in the opening frame.

Cale Adams goal in the second gave the Bruins a 3-0 advantage, and Kelby Widenmaier's goal with 80 seconds left in the second gave Estevan a 4-0 advantage through two periods.

The Rangers scored midway through the third to spoil the shutout bid, but Adams notched his second of the game a couple of minutes later to finish the scoring.

Sunday's game was a 3-3 tie against the Prairie Storm. The Storm had three one-goal leads in the game, but each time the Bruins fought back to tie.

Joey Meredith scored in the first period for Estevan to make the score 1-1 after the first, and Adams and Chase Gedak tallied for Estevan in the second.

Neither team scored in the third.

Zane Winter was in goal for the games on Friday and Sunday. Morgan Wanner was the goalie on Saturday.

Their next games are Dec. 1 and 2 in Swift Current.

Also on Sunday, the Estevan Meter peewee AA Bruins (6-4-1) defeated the Moose Jaw Warriors 7-5 at Affinity Place. The peewee Bruins trailed 2-0 in the first and 5-3 in the second, but scored the final four goals of the game to pull out the victory.

After Moose Jaw scored the first two goals of the game in the opening three minutes, Carter Onrait and Kade Phillips scored for Estevan to tie the game before the end of the first period.

The two teams traded goals in the second, with Phillips getting his second of the game. Moose Jaw scored twice to lead 5-3, but Phillips scored again to pull Estevan to within one after 40 minutes.

Turner Jacobson and Ryker Mathison scored in the first half of the third to give Estevan its first lead of the game, and Onrait tallied late to finish the scoring.

Ryder Davidson was in goal for Estevan.

The peewees will host the Melville Millionaires Dec. 1 at 5:30 and Dec. 2 at 2:45 p.m. at the Power Dodge Ice Centre.
