The Yorkton Terriers dropped their 5th straight game on Wednesday losing 5-2 on the road to the Melfort Mustangs at the Northern Lights Palace.

The Terriers would strike first on the road as Matt Jones would cut off a cross ice pass in his own zone and head on a breakaway and then slide it five-hole on Hunter Arps for the Dinsmore product's 5th of the season to give them an early 1-0 lead.  It would stat like that until row 18:12 mark of the opening period as a scramble in front would draw out a rebound for Tyson Meyers for an easy tap-in for his 6th to draw the Mustangs even at 1-1 after 1 period.

They would add to their lead just 27 seconds later as Zach Anderson would walk across the blue-line and go top shelf on Ben Laidlaw for his 4th of the year to make it a 2 goal lead through 2 periods at 3-1.

The home team would make it a 4-1 game just 1:02 into the 3rd period on the powerplay as Ben Allen would convert his 2nd night and 4th of the season.The Terriers would get it back within one just over 3 minutes later as Saskatoon's Parker Gavlas on a nice individual rush would sneak home his 1st SJHL goal past Hunter Arps to cut the Terriers to within two at 4-2. But late in the 3rd frame, Tyson Meyers would add his 2nd of the game to ice it for the hometown Mustangs.
