Terriers win 5th straight 1-0 over Estevan

The Yorkton Terriers got their 5th straight win and got points in their 7th straight game as they shutout the Estevan Bruins on Tuesday night 1-0.

In the 1st period it was a great start for the Terriers as they definitely had more of the jump and they were rewarded for their efforts as Cortlan Procter would take a nice feed from Matt Cox and rifle it past Matt Gibney for his 2nd goal of the season to give the Terriers a 1-0 lead, and they also led in the shot column 8-4 after 20 minutes.

The middle frame was also a very tight checking affair with the physical play picking up as the period went on and both teams got their own powerplays but neither of them could convert on them as it would remain 1-0 after 40 minutes of play. 

In the 3rd period the play would pick up more towards the favor of the Estevan Bruins as they would get 3 power plays in the final frame including a short 16 second 5 on 3 that they couldn't convert on. But what a great job of penalty killing for the Terriers, starting from key faceoff wins to very timely, and solid saves to keep it at 1-0 and that's where we would end with a 1-0 Terrier victory. 

Kale Thomson stopped 22 shots for his 2nd shutout of the season while Matt Gibney stopped 14 of 15 in a losing cause. 

The Terriers will look to make it 6 in a row when they visit the Weyburn Red Wings on Friday night, pregame gets going at 7:20 from Crescent Point Place in Weyburn.

  1. Maybe you should mention that the Mills were without 10 of their regular players due to illness or injuries and had a lot ot call ups in the line up.
