Bandits push winning streak to four with 8-1 blowout in Olds
BROOKS, AB – In what could be best described as a dominant performance, the Brooks Bandits (20-10-1) picked up their 20th win of the season with an 8-1 stomping of the Olds Grizzlys (12-19-1) on Tuesday night.
Goaltender Mitchel Benson (Windsor, ON) recorded 18 saves and six different Bandits scored to extend the Bandits winning streak to four games. Brooks has only given up four goals over that span.
Brooks struck first just 2:26 into the game, as captain Dennis Cesana (Providence, RI) took what seemed like a harmless shot from the top of the right circle that handcuffed Grizzly goaltender Andrew Henderson to make it 1-0. Exactly three minutes later, Bandits forward Will Garin (Mound, MN) jumped on a rebound and scored from the bottom of the right circle put his team up 2-0. Brooks held Olds to just one shot in the first period.
