Terrier upend Estevan to make it 6 straight

The Yorkton Terriers got out to a 3-0 lead and never looked back as they won their 6th straight and moved into sole possession of 1st place in Sherwood Conference with a 4-1 home ice victory over the Yorkton Terriers.

Zak Majkowski opened the scoring 7:15 into the opening frame his 8th goal of the season and thats all the scoring for the first as they Terriers led 1-0 after 1

Patrick Martens would make it 2-0 shorthanded when he interecepted and errant clearing attempt by goalie Curtis Martinu and put it glove side on the Bruins goalie for his 11th of the season to make it 2-0. Just under 4 minutes later Tyler Giebel would get his team leading 15th goal of the season and the 2nd powerplay goal for the Terriers in the hockey game and that made 3-0 Terriers after 40 minutes of play.

The Estevan Bruins would get their lone goal 5:32 into the last frame as Cole Olson put the Bruins on the board but thats all they would get, as Patrick Martens would ice it with an empty netter his 2nd of the game and 12th of the season.
Terrier goalie and SJHL Goalie of the Week Kale Thomson was outstanding once again and stopped 27 shots for his 11th win of the season, while Bruins' goalie Curtis Martinu was equally as solid stopped 32 of 35 shots but was tagged with the loss.

The Terriers increase their record to 18-7-0-1 for 37 points, 2 points ahead of the idle Notre Dame Hounds. The Terriers will return to action on Thursday night when they host the Battlefords North Stars 7:30 FAA.

The Terriers have also a tentative deal in place to trade goaltender Conor Barrie to the Pickering Panthers of OJHL for cash considerations.
