Jaden Shields lit the lamp with 1:15 left in the third period to give the visitors a 1-0 lead after the first 20 minutes.
Lane Krenzen pushed the Bruins’ lead to 2-0 less than 4 minutes into the second period – and that ended up being the final score as neither team could find the net over the final 36 minutes.
The Blizzard went 0-for-6 on power-play chances to Austin’s 0-of-3 performance as each team finished with 33 shots on goal.
Alex Schilling earned the win in goal with 33 saves as Zachary Borgiel stopped 31 of the 33 shots that he faced in 57 minutes and 40 seconds of play.
