Terriers storm back to beat the Klippers 4-3 on home ice on Wednesday

(Quin Hobbs)

The Yorkton Terriers won their 2nd straight game as they came back with three 3rd period goals to beat the Kindersley Klippers 4-3 on Wednesday night.

The Klippers would strike first as they would go in on a 2 on 1 just 2:23 into the 1st period and Keilan Olson would send a nice feed over to Curtis Peck who would slide it home past Joe Marcouilier for his 12th to make it 1-0. The Terriers though would respond just under 6 minutes later on the power play as Cole Keenleyside's side angle shot would get deflecting in by Quin Hobb for the Deloraine MB product's 7th that evened it up at 1-1.  But the road team would respond a short time later as Austin Nault's would beat the Terriers net minder five-hole to regain the Klippers their one goal lead at 2-1 after 20 minutes with shot even at 11-11.

The road team would add to their lead in the 2nd as Keilan Olson would put it backwards between his legs and then slide it over to Niklas Malencia who would hammer it past Joe Marcouilier for his 9th of the season to give the Klippers a 3-1 lead after 40 minutes.

In the 3rd, the Terriers would start the trek back just 3:43 in as Josh Dobberthein would grab a loose puck in front and bury his 1st SJHL goal to cut the home-team within 1. It would stay like that until late in the final frame when the Terriers scored 2 goals just 50 seconds apart by Quin Hobbs and a power play goal from Cole Keenleyside to help them get the two points.

Yorkton netminder Joe Marcouiller made 33 saves on 36 shots to get the win while Klippers goalie Justen Close turned aside 29 shots in the losing cause.

The Terriers and Klippers will meet once again on Friday night at 7:30 from the Farrell Agencies Arena.
