Swift Current, SK - The Swift Current Broncos improved to 9-2 on home ice thanks to 4-3 victory Saturday night over the Edmonton Oil Kings Saturday night.

Edmonton would counter shortly after on the power play as Gavin Hodnett would score his 10th the season at 3:20. Swift Current wouldn't wait long after to regain the lead as Carlin Dezainde (Calgary, AB) just 1:32 later would make it 2-1 Swift Current from Grayson Burzynski (Winnipeg, MB) & Caswell. With less than five minutes left in the 1st. Edmonton would tie things at 2-2 from a Miroslav Holinka shot at 14:18. The Oil Kings would outshoot the Broncos 14-13.

The 2nd frame would see the Broncos would regain the lead as Grayson Burzynski would knot his 3rd of the season from Ty Coupland (North Vancouver, BC) & Connor Dale (St. Albert, AB) at 6:47. But the Oil Kings weren't going away as Gracyn Sawchyn would tie it at 3-3 at 16:28 but immediately following the Oil Kings goal the Broncos would go on the power play as Ryaln Gould would re-direct his 6th of the season from Mistelbacher & Caswell at 17:24.

Despite plenty of push back and opportunities at both ends in the third, it would be a scoreless final period as the Broncos would hang on for the 4-3 win and improve to 11-6 on the season in front of 2212 fans at InnovationPlex.

Next up, a home-at-home series with the Moose Jaw Warriors starting Tuesday night in Moose Jaw before returning home Wednesday against the Warriors.
