The Swift Current Broncos made a game of it late, but fell short in the end, as they dropped a 3-2 decision to the Everett Silvertips on the road.

     The Broncos trailed 3-0 in the third period, but goals from Cody Eakin and Jordan Evans cut the deficit to 3-2.  However, they just couldn't get the equalizer.

     Eakin was on his first game back with the Broncos after being cut from Canada's World Junior team earlier yesterday.

     Mark Friesen took the loss in goal, making 20 saves.

     The Broncos continue their US road swing tomorrow in Portland.
