The Grand Forks Border Bruins have back-to-back games against the Nelson Leafs followed by a Saturday night home affair against the Kimberley Dynamiters.

Tonight's home game against Nelson, which is also the top team in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL), will take place at Grand Forks Arena with game time at 7:30 p.m. Friday night's game will be in Nelson with puck dropping at 7 p.m.

Saturday's game at Grand Forks Arena will also start at 7:30 p.m.

Grand Forks is playing some of its best hockey lately, going 2-2 in its last four games, including a 3-0 shutout of Beaver Valley and an 8-3 win over Chase.

Jackson Purvis leads the Border Bruins in scoring, with 21 points – he has eight points in his last four games.

Goalie Dominic Stadnyk sustained a lower body injury last week but according to head coach and GM Nick Deschenes earlier in the week, should be ready for action.
