Bandits cap off home schedule with 5-1 win over Camrose
BROOKS, AB – The Brooks Bandits (45-13-1) capped off their regular season home schedule with a win Friday night, downing the visiting Camrose Kodiaks 5-1 in front of an announced crowd of 1,544 at the Centennial Regional Arena.
Brooks got 3 points from captain Dennis Cesana (Providence, RI), two goals from Nathan Plessis (Salmon Arm, B.C.), and a 22-save win from Mitch Benson (Windsor, ON), who notched his league-leading 43rd win of the season.
Brooks outshot Camrose by a whopping 25-6 margin in the first period, but only managed to solve Kodiak goalie Luke Lush once, when Cesana blasted home a slapshot post-and-in on a powerplay just 2:27 into the game.
In the second, Brooks outshot the Kodiaks 19-7 but allowed the tying goal just 1:42 in on a Colson Gengenbach rebound shot from the side of the net.
