Flin Flon led the game 2 to 1 after the opening period on goals by Hayden Clayton and Jaeden Mercier. Clayton has scored three goals in the first two pre season games.

 

Holden Knights scored a short handed goal to get the Wolves on the board early in the frame.

 

Laronge kept coming and scored three straight from Logan Holm, Walker Jerome and Brandon Della Paolera.

 

Xavier Cannon made his first start of the pre season and stopped 31 out of 33 shots to get the win.

 

Jared Thompson, the rookie out of Regina made his first start in a Bomber uniform and stopped 29 out of 33.
