Klippers win a shootout nailbiter over Hawks

It probably shouldn't have gotten to a shootout, but ultimately the Klippers took care of business when it mattered in a 3-2 win over the Nipawin Hawks tonight.

Taylor Duzan scored both regulation goals - both shorties - and the shootout winner, and Dustin Nickel had a big night in his first SJHL start to give Kindersley the win.

Nickel made a big stop on Eli Lichtenwald, the Hawks' third shooter, to seal the W. Duzan was the only player to score.

Nipawin got goals from Jamie Johnson late in the second and Darius Cole midway through the third.

The shots were a whopping 46-22 for the Klippers, though I'd argue they didn't have a ton of high-quality chances. That said, Brody Hoffman was stellar for the Hawks and certainly kept them in it.

I talked to Rockie Zinger and Nickel after the game. I'll put them up tomorrow. I picked up the flu last night and it doesn't seem to care that it's my birthday.

Bump of the game: Jesse Mysiorek (with a close second to Johnny Calkins)
Three Stars: 1. Taylor Duzan, 2. Brody Hoffman, 3. Jordon Hoffman
