The Estevan Bruins ran into a much different, much more determined Yorkton Terriers team on Saturday, September 30 than the one they'd faced the night before, but the end result was the same. 

Yorkton made the Bruins work for it far harder than they had in the 8-1 beatdown of the previous evening in Estevan, but Estevan still emerged from Yorkton victorious with an overtime win. Michael McChesney scored at 3:42 of the extra frame to hand the Bruins a 5-4 victory. 

The story could have had a far different ending for the Bruins, as they went down 2-0 in the second period on a pair of quick strikes by Cody Illerbrun and Chantz Petruic. Johnny Witzke got the Bruins back to within one with a five-on-three goal late in the second, but the Terriers regained the two-goal lead early in the third when Kaleb Bell picked up a loose puck behind Bruins goalie Max Sidelnik and slipped it in.

The Terriers seemed well on their way to snapping their six-game losing streak, but the Bruins flipped the script in the final frame of regulation. Tanner Manz got the Bruins comeback kickstarted by sneaking a low backhand past Terriers goalie Nolan Meier for his first SJHL goal, then drawing a penalty later in the period. On that power play, Zach Goberis scored his ninth goal of the season to knot the score at three. Not long after, TJ Irey potted the go-ahead goal.

The Bruins held the lead almost to the end, but with six seconds left in the third, Shane Sherban scored on a rebound to send the game to extra time. 

Both goalies stood tall in the three-on-three, with Sidelnik stopping a clean breakaway by Cody Bruchkowski and then the rebound. The Bruins sealed the deal when McChesney took a cross-crease pass from Kaelan Holt and tucked it in for his team-leading and SJHL-best tenth tally of the season. 

This was the second come-from-behind overtime win of the season for Estevan, who picked up a 4-3 win over the Battlefords North Stars in extra time on September 23. 

Some of the nastiness from the previous game carried over to this afair, as Isaac Embree and Josh Bryant threw down late in the second period and exchanged heavy blows over an extended battle to the delight of the Yorkton fans.

The comeback win moves the Bruins to 6-2 on the season. They next play on Wednesday on the road in Wilcox against the Notre Dame Hounds. You can catch that game on your home of the Bruins, Rock 106.
