The Melville Millionaires recorded their first win of the 2017/18 season on Friday night after a 3-2 win over the Weyburn Red Wings.
The Red Wings would strike first just 11:23 into the 1st as Derick Smith would jam home his 2nd of the season to make it a 1-0 lead. The Mils would answer back with a powerplay goal of their own as lose puck and finish his 1st of the season to tie it up at 1-1. But just 2:02 later on another man-advantage as Mike Eskra would go end to end and snipe it over the left shoulder of Colby Entz for his 1st to give the visitors a 2-1 lead after 20 minutes. Shots 9-6 Weyburn.
After a scoreless 2nd period, 20 year old Trevor Paradise tied it at 2-2 on a nice deflection on a Ryan Warner point-shot just 5:02 into the 3rd period to force overtime.
In overtime, Cory Schillo (pictured above) made a nifty move around a Red Wings defender and back-hand it past goaltender Carter Phair to give the Moneymen the two points.
Colby Entz made 22 saves for his 1st win of the season while Phair made 28 stops in the losing cause.
The Mils' next action will be at the SJHL Showcase in Saskatoon. They take on Battlefords on Sunday and the La Ronge Ice Wolves on Monday afternoon.
