Alec Malo was in the middle of the late comeback, tying the game on a penalty shot with 1:51 to play, and then he scored the winner 1:20 later, with 31 seconds left.  Former Millionaire Zach Bannister then sealed it with an empty-netter nine seconds later.  Malo has 6-goals and 12-points during a five game point streak.  Cole Rafuse and Mason Kaspick added second period markers, and Jacob Delorme made 42/45 saves for the Bombers (32-10-5-0).
