Bandits run win streak to eight with 2-1 win in Camrose
CAMROSE, AB – Mitch Benson (Windsor, ON) made 26 saves on 27 shots as the Brooks Bandits (35-11-1) downed the Camrose Kodiaks (16-19-11) by a 2-1 score on Saturday night at Encana Arena.
The game’s three goals were all scored in the first period, with stellar goaltending down the stretch by Benson and Camrose goalie Luke Lush leading to a scoreless final 40 minutes.
Brooks broke through early in the game on the power play when Nathan Plessis (Salmon Arm, B.C.) stuffed home a rebound chance from the top of the crease at the 10:05 mark.
The Bandits’ second power play of the game didn’t go nearly as well, as Peter Kope blasted in a shorthanded goal from the right circle at 14:15 to tie the game 1-1.
