The Yorkton Terriers got their 33rd win of the season and split the season series with the Weyburn Red Wings by defeating the Wings 6-4 on Thursday night in front of just under 1400 people at the FAA.
The first period would start on the right foot for the Terriers as they would get the first goal 2:13 into the period as Daylan Gatzke would deflect home his 9th of the season by Rylan Parenteau on a nice low shot from Tanner Lischynsky (pictured above) to give the home team a early 1-0 lead. But that lead wouldn't last long as the Red Wings would get the equalizer just 1:27 later as Matt Eng would bang home his 9th goal to even the game at 1 apiece. It would stay even until the 15:27 mark of the opening frame as kind of off a broken play and then Brian Farkas would feed Josh Lees with a breakaway and he went forehand, backhand on Kale Thomson for his 12th of the year to give the visitors a 2-1 lead after 20 minutes.
The Weyburn Red Wings would increase their lead to 2 goals early in the 2nd period as Tyler Borstmayer's shot from the point would beat Thomson for his 6th goal of the season to make it 3-1 Wings. The Wings would continue to put pressure on the Terriers, but then the Terriers get a powerplay and they would convert on the 2nd powerplay chance as Tayler Thompson would finish off a nice passing play for his 20th goal of the season to cut the deficit to just 3-2. Then a short time later, it would be a crazy one as Chase Norrish would let a long shot from the point go and the bouncing puck would somehow trickle over top of Parenteau for Chase's 9th of the season to even it up at 3-3 after 40 minutes of play.
Brett Boehm would put the Terriers ahead just 2:30 into the 3rd period as he would get his 26th goal of the season to make it 4-3 Yorkton. But the Wings would come right back with another powerplay goal (their 3rd of the night), as Colton Laroque's long shot from the point beat a screened Thomson for his 3rd to pull it even at 4-4. Just 3:42 later, it would be Boehm add it again as he would finish off a nice passing play and slide home his 2nd of the night and 27th of the season to put the Terriers back in front at 5-4. The Terriers would add some insurance as Tyler Giebel would get in on the scoring with his 13th to push the Terriers lead to 2 goals. The Wings would come hard in the final half of the final frame and they would get a lengthy powerplay but couldn't convert and it would end with a 6-4 Terriers win, their 30th of the season.
Kale Thomson turned aside 21 shots for the win while Rylan Parenteau stopped 34 shots in a losing cause.
The Terriers are now 2 points clear of the Kindersley Klippers for top spot in the SJHL , and the Terriers next action is Saturday night when they host the Nipawin Hawks at the FAA 7:30.
