The Austin Bruins shook off elimination for the second straight night in Minot and now they are one win away from advancing to the NAHL Central Division finals.
Austin prevailed 3-2 over the Minotauros in double OT in game four of the NAHL Central semifinals in Minot Friday night after Gavin Hruza netted the game-winner just 39 seconds into the second OT.
Austin will now host a decisive game five in Riverside Arena at 7:05 p.m. Monday night.
The Bruins led 3-0 after two periods, but Minot rallied back to tie things up and force overtime when the Minotauros scored three times in the third period.
