The Lloydminster Bobcats bounced back with a pair of wins over the Bonnyville Pontiacs.
The ‘Cats returned to the Centennial Civic Centre on Jan. 24 ahead of a seven-game road trip before returning home.
The Bobcats made the most of their time in front of a packed Civic Centre audience. An early goal by the hometown team gave them a 1-0 advantage before the Pontiacs scored two unanswered goals for the lead into the second period.
The visiting Pontiacs wouldn’t hold the lead for long as Bobcats shooters poured it on, scoring the next six unanswered goals to close the game at 7-2.
Onto the bus the Lloydminster team went as they were headed to Bonnyville to finish the weekend series.
Much like the first game, Bobcats’ sticks were hot and found the back of the net twice in the first, four times in the second, and once in the third for another seven-goal game, besting the Pontiacs 7-4.
The Bobcats will be in Olds to take on the Grizzlys on Jan. 31. Their next game will be on Feb. 1 in Drayton Valley to take on the Thunder.
