Blades Get Helpful Pul From Elias in Subduing Broncos

It took only three games for Elias Pul (pictured) to pay dividends for the Saskatoon Blades after being acquired from Spokane.

The 19-year-old German left winger broke a 2-2 tie with his first goal as a member of the Bridge City Bunch, with 7:11 remaining in the third period, as the Blue and Gold doubled Swift Current 4-2 Friday night at SaskTel Centre. Acquired, along with defenceman Kaden Allan, from the Chiefs on December 9th for 20-year-old Dominik Petr, Pul didn’t join the Blades right away as he joined the German team taking part in the World Junior Championship. He added an assist for his first points with Saskatoon as the Bridge City Bunch improved to 22-16-3 for the season and extended the Broncos winless streak to five games. The Blue and Gold never trailed in the first round of a home-and-home series, being played on back-to-back nights. Kazden Mathies, Rowan Calvert and Tyler Parr scored the other goals for the Blades while David Lewandowski added two assists. Saskatoon out-shot Speedy Creek 36-28 as the Bridge City Bunch have won all four head-to-head meetings against the Broncos this season and five straight dating back to last season. Swifty’s record dropped to 9-30-3. The back end of the weekend series goes Saturday night at 7 o’clock in Swift Current. CJWW’s broadcast begins at 6:45 p.m. Following are the audio highlights from CJWW’s broadcast, Post-Game Show interviews with head coach Dan Da Silva, Pul and goaltender Evan Gardner plus the official game summary courtesy the W-H-L website…..
