The Notre Dame Hounds were able to get their power play working as they scored 3 out of their 4 goals with the extra attacker in taking down the Bombers Saturday night 4-2.
The night started well for Flin Flon who opened up the scoring when Brett Boehm scored at 9:38 into the opening period. The Hounds answered that when Schwartzenberger tied it up with a power play goal at16:35. The Hounds would take the lead 2-1 when veteran Sam Aulie scored at 18:34.
Flin Flon seemed to get a big break when Tyson Empey scored a short handed goal early in the second, but the Bombers could not put any more pucks past rookie netminder Alexi Thibaudeau.
Aulie and Scwartzenberger both scored their second of the night on the powerplay and the Hounds were able to pick up their third win of the season.
Stats sometimes can be very deceiving as the Notre Dame Power play was ranked dead last coming into Saturday's game scoring only 2 goals on 23 oppurtunities. The Hounds were 3 for 4 on Saturday and this was the differance in the game as the Bombers finished up 0 for 4.
