Facing 53 shots and stopping 51 of them would normally be enough to for a first star performance and a victory, but Melville’s Brandon Wells didn’t get the necessary run support on Saturday night in Flin Flon, as the Bombers beat the Millionaires for a second straight night, this time 2-0, out-shooting the Millionaires 51-22.
Zac Robidoux picked up the 22 saves shutout, moving his personal mark to 3-0-0-0, 1.33, .957%. That was his first shutout this season, after registering five a year ago.
Greyson Reitmeier and Nick Shumlanski did the scoring for the Bombers, who improved to 6-1-1-0 on the season, 4-0-1-0 at the Whitney Forum.
