The Bandits outshot the Saints Saturday, but Spruce Grove scored the victory, winning 6-3 in Game 2 of the AJHL final in Brooks.

Brooks outshot the Saints 34-25 overall, but thanks to a strong start from Jameson Kaine, the Saints prevailed in a close contest that wasn't decided until the Saints racked up a couple of empty net goals in the game's final minute.

Liam Watkins scored twice and Luigi Benincasa, Carter Oakenfold, Breck McKinley and Isaac Abbott added singles for Spruce Grove.

Caelan Fitzpatrick, Heath Armstrong and Aiden Fink scored for Brooks.

The series now shifts to Spruce Grove, which will host Game 3 and 4 at Grant Fuhr Arena Tuesday and Wednesday night at 7 p.m.
