Soo Thunderbirds have the Blind River Beavers number as of late.

Since the 2021 portion of the Northern Ontario Jr. Hockey League season began about a week ago, the Thunderbirds have taken four straight games from the Beavers with Blind River’s only point coming in a shootout loss.

The latest T-Bird triumph was a 5-3 decision on Tuesday in which the Soo scored twice in the third period to break a 3-3 tie.

It has been a reversal from November when the two teams met four times and Blind River took three of the games, including a shootout victory.

Blind River will have home ice for a pair of games against the Soo this weekend, Saturday at 2:00 p.m. and Sunday at 2:00 p.m.

The Thunderbirds now have a record of 8-3-1 through 12 games while the Beavers have a 5-6-1 mark.
