The Spruce Grove Saints battled hard in the second and third period but came up just short, falling 3-2 in overtime to the Cranbrook Bucks.

Bodee Weiss was stellar between the pipes, turning aside 40 shots to keep the Saints in the fight. The Bucks struck first on the power play, with Rasmus Svartstrôm opening the scoring in the first period. The Saints responded in the second, as Ryan Johnstone buried the equalizer, capping off a dominant middle frame for Spruce Grove. Despite the momentum, the Bucks regained the lead on a late-period power play deflection.

With time winding down, Saints captain Max Seguin delivered in the clutch, netting a power-play goal with less than two minutes remaining to force overtime. However, the Bucks capitalized in the extra frame, sealing the 3-2 victory.

The Saints will look to bounce back in their next matchup.
