The Yorkton Terriers earned their 13th victory of the season on Tuesday night as they beat the visiting Flin Flon Bombers 3-2 in the shootout at the FAA.
The Bombers would strike first in this final meeting between both hockey clubs as Tyler Nyman would capitalize on a Terriers poor clearing attempt and beat Terrier goalie Joe Marcouiller over the left shoulder for his 4th of the season to give the visitors a 1-0 lead. The home team would reply just over 3 minutes later, as Cole Keenleyside would continue his torrid month of February and intercept a cross-ice D to D pass and would make no mistake for the short-handed goal, hist 17th of the year to tie it up at 1-1 after 20 minutes.
Yorkton would grab their first one goal lead with 4;58 to go in the middle frame as Josh Dobberthein (pictured above) would whack home his 4th of the season on the power play to give Yorkton a 2-1 lead after 40 minutes.
The Terriers would hold that one goal until late in the 3rd as Brandson Hein would bang home a rebound on the power play with just under 2 minutes remaining to secure the Bombers' at least a point.
After a scoreless overtime, in the shootout Josh Dobberthien would sneak one through Brendan Newton to get the only of the shootout while Terriers goaltender Joe Marcouiller stopped all 3 Flin Flon shooters.
Marcouiller, the 20 year old from New Brighton, Minnesota made 35 saves to get the victory while Bombers' G Brendan Newton made 26 saves in the shootout loss.
