Good Friday night as Mils, Wolverines and Stamps all Victorious

In what was a potential Sherwood division semi-final preview the Melville Millionaires were able to prevail and win their 6th game in a row as they beat the Notre Dame Hounds in wild one 8-6 in Fort Qu'Appelle.
The Notre Dame Hounds would open the scoring as Ryan Donovan would open the scoring for Notre Dame to give them a 1-0 lead. But 39 seconds later, Ian McNulty would get his first of 2 on the night to even it at 1. Lucas Froese would give the Mils their first lead of the night his 14th of the season but with just 25 seconds remaining in the opening frame, Brandon Millin would even the game at 2 on the powerplay ending into the 1st intermission.

The 2nd period would produce 6 total goals with 3 goals apiece as the Millionaires would get their 2nd period goals from Sean Aschim, Colin Mospanchuk and Russell Trudeau while the Hounds would reply with goals from Jens Johnson, Kale Derkson and Brandon Millin his 2nd of the game and it was all tied up at 5 after 40 minutes of play.

Just over 9 minutes into the 3rd period the Mils would get a lead once again as Aschim would get his 2nd of the night and 20th of the season to make it 6-5, and shortly after that the Mils would get their 1st two goal lead of the hockey game as McNulty would get the potential game winner and 2nd of the night to give the Mils a 7-5 lead. The Hounds would make it interesting with just under 3 and a half minutes remaining in the game as Ian Williams would rip a slap shot past Alex Wakaluk to make it 7-6, but with just 14 seconds remaining , Tyson Predinchuk would ice it into the empty net to make it 6 in a row for the Moneymen and 8-6 Melville victory on Friday night.
