Witzke finished with a goal and an assist, while Michael McChesney and Matthew Chekay scored powerplay goals to give the Bruins (23-13-3-1) a 2-0 lead in the first period.  Bo Didur made 20/22 saves on the night.

Keillan Olson and Tanner Thompson (1g-1a) scored third period goals for the Klippers (15-15-3-2) to force overtime, and Justen Close made 33 saves on 36 shots.

The Klippers continue their road swing Friday in Weyburn, before catching the Bruins one more time on Saturday.
