The Melville Millionaires won the first Highway 10 battle of 2015 on New Years Day as they shutout their rivals the Yorkton Terriers 3-0 at the Horizon Credit Union Center.
You would expect that both sides would have a little bit of rust after not playing for almost 2 weeks, but that wasn't the case, both team came out with a lot of energy and the physical play was impressive. The Mils would draw first blood at the 5:46 of the opening period, as Tyler Kreklewich's (pictured above) back hander would go top shelf on Dawson MacAuley firs his 5th goal of the season to give the Mils an early 1-0 lead. Kreklewich would add his 2nd of the period, with just under a minute and a half remaining to give the home team a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes.
After a scoreless 2nd period, the final period would be all Millionaires as they would out shoot the Terriers 16-4, and at the 7:22 mark of the 3rd period the Mils would add some insurance as 20 year old Reed Murray would sneak one through MacAuley from below the goal line for his 7th of the year to push the Mils to their 17th victory of the season a 3-0 win over the Yorkton Terriers.
Troy Trombley made 26 saves for the Mils for his 2nd shutout of the season while Terriers netminder Dawson MacAuley stopped 37 shots in a losing cause.
These two teams will go right back at it tomorrow night (Fri) from the Farrell Agencies Arena in Yorkton. GX94 will broadcast the game with Yorkton Dodge Junior Hockey, pregame 7:20 pxp at 7:30.
