The Nipawin Hawks diffused the Flin Flon Bombers Tuesday night skating away with a 4-1 win.
Nipawin has opened the 2021 – 22 Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) season with a trio of wins. Unlike the opening two games of the season where the Hawks grabbed an early lead, Flin Flon opened the scoring forcing Nipawin to claw back on the road at the Whitney Forum.
Flin Flon’s Cole Duperreault beat Chase Hamm just five minutes into the contest, but the visitors rebounded to take their own lead before the first period was over. Christian Albertson and Rylan Lefebvre each scored their first goals of the season giving Nipawin a 2-1 lead at the intermission.
Brody Wilson scored a power play goal in the second period expanding Nipawin’s cushion to 3-1. Carson Dobson added an empty net goal in the final minute of the third to round out the scoring. Lefebvre said the club is playing a strong team game early on this season.
