Mils lose; Wolverines snap streak in Wednesday's Jr. Recap
The Melville Millionaires played a pretty strong 2nd and 3rd period but it wasn't enough to get back in the win column as they lost their 5th straight, 6-3 on the road last night to the Estevan Bruins at Affinity Place.
The Bruins were able to get on the board first as 15 year old Cole Fonstad would grab a loose puck and go top shelf on Brandon Wells for his 1st SJHL goal on his 1st shot to give Estevan an early 1-0 lead. They would make it 2-0 at the 12:10 mark as Zach Douglas' long point shot would go through a screen and hit the back of the net for his 5th goal for the veteran Bruin defenceman. Then the Bruins would get a late power play and they would be able to convert just 3 seconds into it as Owen LaClare would one-time home his 15th goal of the year to give the home team a 3 goal lead after 20 minutes. Shots 11-7 Estevan.
The Mils would get on the board at 6:53 of the 2nd period as Tyler Kreklewich would knock home his 9th goal of the season to cut the Mils deficit to 2 at 3-1. But the Bruins would strike back and regain their 3 goal lead as Zach Goberis would take a nice feed across from Jason Duret to put home his 3rd of the year to make it 4-1 Estevan. The Mils, who were the better team in the middle frame would come back with another with just 2:46 left as Cole Filler, from his stomach would poke home his 6th to push the Moneymen within 2 once again at 4-2 after 40 minutes. Shots on goal 23-18 Estevan.

The home team would get their first 4 goal lead as Darcy Deroose would snipe home his 14th goal of the season to make it a 6-2 Estevan game. The Mils would add one more by 20 year old Dalton Menke but that's as close as they would get as they dropped a 6-3 decision to their Viterra division rivals.

But the Terriers would once again come back with an answer, another PP goal as Paul Savage seeing-eye snipe job would get past the Bronco goalie to make it 4-3. But thats as close as the visitors would get despite a flurry of chances late, the Broncos were victorious 4-3 over Yorkton.

Captain Michael Fortin would ice into the empty net to give the Stamps their 11th victory of the season a 4-2 final over Waywayseecappo.
After a scoreless 2nd period, 5 total goals would be scored in the final frame. 20 year old Johl Swedlo would start things up getting the Wolverines on the board with his 9th of the season to make it a 1-1 game. But just 2:06 later the Stamps would regain their 1 goal lead as Trevor Mann would pot home his 6th to make it a 2-1 Swan lead. The Stamps would get their first 2 goal lead of the night as 17 year old Josh Tripp (pictured above right) would strike on the powerplay and get his team lead 12th of the year to make it 3-1. But the Wolverines would cut it back within one as rookie Ty Enns would get his Wolverine-leading 10th to make it 3-2. But that's as close as Wolverines would get as in the final minute Stamps' Asst. Captain Michael Fortin would ice into the empty net to give the Stamps their 11th victory of the season a 4-2 final over Waywayseecappo.
Stamps netminder Zach Degraves was very good stopping 35 of 37 shots for the win while Greg Harney made 31 saves in the losing cause.
