KINDERSLEY - The Estevan Bruins wrapped up their first northern road trip of the season with a win.

The Black and Gold picked up three of a possible four points against the Kindersley Klippers, as they lost 4-3 in a shootout on Friday, and won 4-2 on Saturday.

Goaltender Kyle Kesley, who signed with the Bruins on Oct 7, was stellar in both games. The 20-year-old goalie, with 75 games of Western Hockey League experience over two seasons, made 48 saves in the first game against Kindersley and 45 in the second Klippers' contest.

In Friday's game, defenceman Jagden Taylor opened the scoring 2:05 into the first period for Estevan with his first SJHL goal. Kindersley's Kyler Smith tied the game with 2 1/2 minutes to play in the first.

The teams swapped goals in the second. Luke Hogan scored early in the frame, but Zakery Anderson tied the contest a couple minutes later. Michael Carter restored the lead for Estevan with his first in the SJHL, but Braden Cunningham tied the game with three seconds left in the stanza. The Klippers outshot the Bruins 21-7 in the second period.

The Bruins thought they took the lead in the third period, but the goal was called off because the puck was deflected with a high stick.

 Kindersley outscored Estevan 2-1 in a five-round shootout.

Brett O'Halloran had 30 saves for Kindersley.

The Bruins' Odin George scored the first goal of the game with 3:51 to play in the first period of Saturday's game. Camden Cunningham pulled the Klippers even five minutes in to the second, but Ewan Rennie recorded his first two goals in the SJHL for Estevan, first with a power-play goal and then with a pretty marker on a short-handed break.

Dawson Karol pulled the Klippers to within one just over three minutes into the third, but Hogan dashed the comeback bid when he scored into an empty net with 53 seconds to play. The Klippers outshot the Bruins 18-8 in the third.

Nathan Claydon stopped 32 shots for Kindersley.

The Bruins (3-3-2) will host the Yorkton Terriers on Oct. 16, starting at 7 p.m.
