Preview: Bears @ Brave

---

For the third time this season, Sydney Bears take on CBR Brave. In their first meeting, the Brave defeated the Bears 6-3 in the Bears home opener. In the second game in Canberra, the Bears had their revenge, winning in a shootout 3-2. Bears return to Canberra on Sunday 29 May, still looking for their first regulation win after 7 games. 

Last weekend, the Bears played 1 game against the Newcastle North Stars at Penrith. After leading 4-2, the Bears went down 6-4 on Saturday. On Sunday, CBR also played the North Stars. After leading the home team 2-0 early, the North Stars defeated Brave 7-2. Like the Bears, Brave played only one game last weekend.


Prior to this game on Sunday at 5pm, both teams play games against rivals which may drain fuel from the tank. Bears head to Liverpool to play the Ice Dogs on Saturday while the Brave host the North Stars.


Before this weekend (28/29 May), the Bears are yet to win in regulation time after 7 games. Their only shootout win was against CBR Brave the last time the two teams met. Bears have 4 points from 7 games. Brave have 12 points from 9 games including 3 regulation wins and an overtime win.
