Austin Bruins swept on home ice by rival Aberdeen Wings

AUSTIN — The Austin Bruins suffered a weekend sweep on their home ice, at the hands of the Aberdeen Wings. Aberdeen’s specialty teams scored twice in the game’s first 14 minutes, 2 seconds, and never trailed en route to a 4-1 win against the Bruins at Riverside Arena on Saturday night. That came on the heels of a 3-2 Wings win on Friday in Austin. The Bruins have dropped seven of their past eight, six of those by one goal. The Wings took a 2-0 lead in the first period on a short-handed goal by Payne Riffey 11:12 into the game, followed by a power-play goal from Melker Hof at the 14:02 mark of the first period. Austin got on the board, though, before the end of the first period, as Viktor Ohlin scored his third goal of the season with 4:12 to go in the first, with assists from Andrew Leung and Elliot Bast-Wiklund. The score remained 2-1 for the Wings after one. Aberdeen extended its lead in the second, when Caeden Heins scored an unassisted goal 2:30 into the period, making it 3-1.
