KINDERSLEY, SK: The Yorkton Terriers will look to make it a weekend sweep Saturday night when they face the Kindersley Klippers in the second half of a back-to-back at the WCEC.
Puck drop is set for 7:30 p.m.
The Terriers opened the weekend with a 4-1 victory over the Klippers on Friday night, scoring three unanswered goals in the third period to pull away for the road win.
After the two teams traded power-play goals through the opening 20 minutes, neither side found the back of the net in the second period before Yorkton took over in the final frame.
Austin Horbachewsky, Mathys Morrissette and Yorkton product DJ Brass all scored in the third period, while Jake Briltz opened the scoring for the Terriers in the first.
The victory also saw several Terriers continue their strong starts to the season.
Briltz picked up his third goal of the campaign, while Morrissette extended his point streak to three games. Horbachewsky also found the back of the net for the third time this season, and Brass recorded his first SJHL goal.
At the other end of the ice, Callum Creig turned in another strong performance between the pipes. Making his third consecutive start, Creig stopped 21 of 22 shots to earn his second win of the season.
The Terriers also controlled the shot clock throughout Friday’s contest, finishing with a 31-22 advantage.
Now, Yorkton will look to carry that momentum into Saturday’s rematch, while the Klippers will be looking to even the weekend series on home ice.
With the two teams meeting for the second time in as many nights, expect another physical and competitive battle in Kindersley.
