It is a weekend the Flin Flon Bombers will not forget as they took all  4 points against the top team in the SJHL, the Battleford Stars.

 

Fresh off a 5-4 OT win on Friday,  the Bombers picked up a solid 5-2 win Saturday.

 

Recently acquired Jason Lavalle scored his second in as many nights and third of the season to open things up at the 14:36 mark of the opening period.

 

Brandon Switzer made it 2-0 late in the first to send the Bombers to the locker room 2-0 after 1.

 

Joel Kocur banged home his 14th of the season to put the Bombers up 3-0 early in the second before Reed Delainey beat the buzzer with only 1 second left in the second to get the Stars on the board 3-1 after 2.

 

Alex Smith electrified the crowd when he scored on a penalty shot early in the third to preserve the 3 goal lead and make it 4-1 on his 14th, tieing Joel Kocur for the team lead.

 

Battleford pulled the goalie and made it 4-2 when Connor Sych, blasted a point shot past Zac Robidoux with just over 5 minutes remaining.

 

The Stars kept battling but Brandon Switzer was able to seal the deal , when he flipped the puck into the empty net with less than a minute remaining in the game to make the final 5-2. This was Switzer's second of the night and 11th of the year.

 

Flin Flon is on a roll, winning their fourth game in a row and are back at.500 with a record of: 10-10-0-4. The Bombers are also, 6-3-0-1 in their last 10 games.

 

Battleford have only lost 6 games in regulation and 2 have come courtesy of the Bombers. Flin Flon is a perfect 3-0 against the Stars this season. The next 3 meetings will be in Battleford.

 

Alex Smith remains red hot picking up 6 points in the last 2 games and leads the Bombers in points with 28 in 24 games. He sits 10th overall in league scoring. Zac Robidoux is also making people stand up and take notice as he continues to pad his stats with a 2.69 gaa and a save % of .920.

 

Robidoux is 5-0-1 in his last 6 starts and is 8-5 on the season, and is one of the biggest reasons the Bombers have turned their season around.
