JAMESTOWN – Through a tight game, Brady Nenow provided the good start and good finish.

Nenow scored his second goal of the game 2:16 into overtime Thursday to give Jamestown Blue Jays Boys Hockey a 3-2 overtime win over Hazen-Beulah in the Blue Jays’ final home game of the regular season.

The win clinches the third seed for the Blue Jays in next week’s West Region tournament.

Bennett Goehner and Braxton Burkett set up Nenow’s winning goal, which happened just 16 seconds after the Blue Jays killed off a Goehner interference penalty at the end of the third period.  Even with that penalty kill, Jamestown outshot Hazen-Beulah 4-0 in overtime and 32-17 for the game.

Cole Bullinger had tied the game for Jamestown (13-5-1-0, 12-4-1-0 WDA) at 6:45 of the third period from John Belzer and Parker Roelfsema.

Nenow scored the game’s first goal for the Blue Jays at 5:05 of the first period, set up by Gavin Schafer and Max Whitman.

Owen Kadrmas and Chris Heger scored in the second period for Hazen-Beulah (1-17-3-1-1, 0-13-1-1) and the North Stars were up 2-1 through two periods.

Leif Hanson made 15 saves in goal for the Blue Jays,

Jamestown will close its regular season Friday at Bottineau-Rugby, then open play in the West Region Tournament against Bismarck High next Thursday at the VFW Sports Center in Bismarck.
