Oct 12th SJHL/MJHL Local Recap

SJHL

The Melville Millionaires dropped a 5-3 road decision on Friday night against the Battlefords North Stars.

The North Stars would strike first just 6:52 into the hockey game when Matthias Urbanski would snap home his 7th of the season to make it 1-0. They would add to their lead on the power play as Cody Spagrud's point shot would beat a screened Berk Berkeliev for his 2nd of the year to give the home-side a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes.

Shots were 19-9 after 1 period for Battlefords.

In the 2nd, the Mils would cut their deficit in half as Jacob Bourchier would finish off a nice tic-tac-toe passing play and beating Adam Dmyterko for his 1st SJHL goal to make it a 2-1 game. But just over 8 minutes later, the North Stars would regain their two goal lead as Eli Loon-Stewardson would grab a loose puck and beat the Mils net minder for his 2nd to give Battlefords a 3-1 lead after 2 periods.

The North Stars continued to lead the shot clock at 32-14 after 40 minutes.

The Moneymen got off to a fast start in the 3rd and would tie it up with a couple goals just over 1 minute apart as Sam De Melo and Tyler Pryhitka would light the lamp to make it 3-3. But Regan Doig would get the eventual game winner just under 3 minutes to go, then Owen Lamb would ice it into the empty net to help the home side get the two points.

Adam Dmyterko stopped 21 shots to earn his 1st SJHL win while Berk Berkeliev made 42 saves in the losing cause.

The Mils will look to get back into the win column on Saturday night when they visit the Kindersley Klippers at the West Central Events Center.
