Terriers; Mils & Stamps all fall in Jan. 11th Local SJHL/MJHL Recap

The Melville Millionaires dropped their 4th straight on Friday night, 2-1 to the Weyburn Red Wings at Crescent Point Place.

After a scoreless 1st period, the Mils struck first just 2:08 into the 2nd on the power play as Tristan Shewchuk's snap shot beat Ben Laidlaw over the right pad for his 8th of the year to make 1-0 Melville. The Red Wings would respond just over 7 minutes later with a PP goal of their own as former Millionaire Eric Soar would one-time home through the five-hole of Colby Entz to make it a 1-1 game after 40 minutes.

In the 3rd, Weyburn would get the game winner just 1:26 into the 3rd period when Moosomin's Jevon Schwean would walk out to the high-slot and beat Entz over the right pad to give the Red Wings their 4th straight victory.

Ben Laidlaw made 27 saves in the Red Wings goal to earn his 3rd straight victory while Colby Entz turned aside 27 stops in the losing cause.
