YORKTON - The Yorkton Terriers were in action Wednesday evening hosting Kindersley at the Westland Insurance Arena.

The second period swung in the favour of the Klippers.

Then with only one second left on the clock in the period Nathan DeGraves scored for a 2-1 Kindersley lead.

Cam Perlinger scored 31 seconds into the third frame and the Klippers were up 3-1.

David Coyle scored at 13:53 to cut the Klipper lead to 3-2.

Then a goal by Jaron Desnoyers at 18:09 made it a 3-3 tie and the game headed to the five-minute overtime.

It took only 1:24 of extra time for Jeff Hammond to score and give the Terriers a 4-3 win.

Cody Jaman was in net for the Klippers facing 40-shots in the loss.

Ethan Farrow faced 22-shots in the Terrier net.

The win leaves Yorkton with a 20-27-2-2 and 44 points still last in the SJHL Viterra Division four points back of Weyburn, six back of second place Estevan and nine back of front-running Melville.
