HUMBOLDT - Kyle Kelsey left a great first impression with the Estevan Bruins.

The 20-year-old goaltender made 47 saves for the Black and Gold in their 5-3 victory over the host Humboldt Broncos on Wednesday night. Twenty of his saves came in the third period.

The Bruins raced out to a 3-0 lead in the first period. Hayden Pimm's first goal as a Bruin opened the scoring midway through the frame, and Kent Moors and Luke Hogan also scored for a 3-0 advantage.

Former Bruin Gabriel Filion had the lone goal of the second period, leaving Humboldt down two after 40 minutes. 

The two teams traded goals in the third. Marik Marnic's goal pulled Humboldt to within two, but Estevan hockey product Carter Onrait notched what proved to be the game-winning goal midway through the third for the Bruins. It was Onrait's first goal in the SJHL.

Jacob Strizzi pulled Humboldt to within one with 1:38 to play in the third, but Moors notched his second of the game into an empty net 46 seconds later to dash any hopes of a Humboldt comeback. 

Ty Matonovich had 27 saves for Humboldt in the loss. 

The Bruins announced Kelsey's signing on Monday. He has 75 games of Western Hockey League experience over the past two seasons with the Red Deer Rebels and the Tri-Cities Americans.

The Bruins will be back on the ice Friday and Saturday when they visit the Kindersley Klippers.
