Blues vs Pistons ROUND 2

For the 2nd time in as many nights, the Blues and Steinbach Pistons faced off against each other in exhibition action.

And for the 2nd time in as many nights, the two clubs would go to the extra frame.

The Pistons opened the scoring in front of their home crowd as Mitch Chagnon beat Blues tender Charlie Poque.

It looked like it would stay that way until the end of the period, but Andrew Emmons tied the game with 8 seconds left in the period to send the teams to the dressing rooms locked at 1.

The Blues would take the lead thirteen minutes into the 2nd as Dustin Bruyere fired a shot past Pistons goaltender Addison Herosian, giving the Blues a 2-1 lead.

Tyler Lazuruk tied it for the Pistons shorthanded late in the 2nd, and once again the game was tied heading into the final frame.

In the 3rd, Tanner Harms scored his second in as many nights giving the Pistons a 3-2 lead.   With just under 5 minutes to go Dustin Bruyere would add his second of the game, and send this game to overtime tied at three for the second straight night.

Again, some chances at both ends during the 4 on 4 OT, but with a 1:10 left on the clock,  Trent Genyk would end it, giving the Pistons a 4-3 win.

Dustin Bruyere had a pair of goals, while Jeff Borse and David Laflechu each had a pair of helpers in the game for the Blues.

The Blues next action is today (Sunday) at 2:00 at the MTS Ice Plex where they'll face the Fort William North Stars (SIJHL).  

It's the final Pre Season game for the Blues before opening up the regular season next Friday night at home against the Selkirk Steelers.
