RECAP/PREVIEW: The Bruins only managed one win in their three-in-three this past weekend. They took it down to the wire on Thursday night against Brookings with a last minute goal in the third period to tie the game and force overtime. Austin eventually outlasted the Blizzard in a 10-round shootout for the victory. On Friday, the Bruins were shutout 5-0 against the Aberdeen Wings. While they were able to get a goal on Saturday night, they still fell by a final score of 5-1. Garrett Dahm was the lone goal scorer for the black-and-gold on Saturday night. Kyle McClellan started all three games on the weekend, going 1-2.

Up next the Bruins wrap up their regular season with a pair of games against the Bismarck Bobcats at Riverside Arena. Austin is 4-5-0-1 against the Bobcat this season and have been on a little bit of a skid, having lost the last four to the Bobcats.

For 3rd seed - Bruins win two versus Bismarck; Minot wins one or more against Brookings
