After earning a big 3-2 win at home Saturday where the Kindersley Jr Klippers never trailed one of the league's best teams the Humboldt Broncos, they traveled to Humboldt for the rematch on Monday. Through the first two periods, the Klippers were down on the score but still in a tight game, but an early third period collapse was too much for the Klippers as they took a tough 7-1 loss.

Part of the success for the Klippers Saturday was that they got a good start, and they got a good start in the early goings of the first period. Five minutes in the shots were 2-2, but after Josh Morton was called for tripping on the Klippers, the Broncos powerplay went to work and started to put some pressure on and the shots went up to 9-2 Broncos.

After Morton's penalty had ended, the Broncos scored the game's opening goal when Ethan Zielke won a puck battle to Matt Pesenti's right and Zielke centred the puck for Connor Casparie. He had a little too much room to get his onetimer off, and it snuck past Pesenti to open the game's scoring.

The rest of the period saw penalties from both teams being defended. The Klippers struggled a little through the middle of the period but started to find their groove near the end on their second powerplay with three minutes left in the period.

Right in the end of the third, Brayden Koch was nabbed for slashing, giving the Broncos a full two minute powerplay to start the second. Earlier in the period, Josh Morton was hit up high in the head by Rhett Gibson and Morton was slow to get up. He did get to the bench on his own power, but left the game for the rest of it.

Even though they had an early penalty to kill, the Klippers stayed aggressive and had some good chances to start off the second period and killed off the penalty fairly easily. Things would go back and forth between the two teams until the Broncos were given a gift to extend their lead.

While cycling the puck in the offensive zone, the Broncos got a shot from the point by Nicksha Eric, and Jaxon Georget stood in front to block the shot with his skates. The puck bounced off Georget's skates directly to a streaking Cage Newans who fired the shot before Pesenti could get there, and the Broncos had their lead doubled just over six minutes into the period.

After some 4-on-4 play didn't result in anything for either team, the Broncos got back on the board when Newans battling for a puck at the side of the net sent the puck from the right side wall into the slot for Rhett Gibson. He had time to sit there and pick his spot before firing and making it 3-0 for the Broncos just over halfway through the period.

The Klippers would get one back however as they started a big press at the end of the period. After a powerplay from a Cody Hough interference call, the Klippers had some momentum and after Liam Bell turned the puck over at centre, he passed it ahead to Cash Arntsen down the right side of the ice. He entered the zone and fired a hard wrist shot from distance to beat Rayce Ramsay and keep the Klippers in it.

Unfortunately the Klippers would see the beginning of the end just before the end of the second period when Aiden Bangs was called for a holding call with 12 seconds left in the period.

After 2: Klippers 1 - 3 Broncos, shots 8-7 Klippers in the period, 21-16 Broncos overall

On the penalty kill to start the period, the league's leading scorer finally scored his first point of the weekend for the Broncos. After a minute of cycling the puck and not finding much for shooting lanes, Connor McGrath got the puck on the left side of the blue line and snuck in towards the net to fire a shot through traffic and into the back of the net to retake the three goal lead.

Things would unravel from there as Brayden Koch took a hooking call a minute later, and Nathan DeGraves would join him in the box for tripping. Down to 5-on-3 with two defencemen in the penalty box and Morton still out of the game from injury, the Broncos added a goal from Alex Morozoff on a onetimer on the right side of the ice to put an end to Koch's penalty.

With DeGraves still in the box to serve the rest of his penalty, the Broncos scored another goal on a nifty play when McGrath at the left side of the point passed the puck ahead to Newans at the side of the net, and he made a tip between the legs to send the puck into the slot for the open Braiden Koran for an easy tap in and a big 6-1 lead.

The Klippers were tired out from trying to defend five minutes of powerplay to start the period off, and they never really got the energy from the second period back. Braiden Koran added one more for the Broncos on a shot that Pesenti made the save on but the puck squirted through into the back of the net.

FINAL: Klippers 1 - 7 Broncos, shots 13-3 Broncos in the period, 34-19 Broncos overall
