Thye won the first, but lost the second and the third.
The Humboldt Broncos pulled out a win over the Yorkton Terriers, but fell to the Melville Millionaires and the Battlefords North Stars in their three away games this week.
In Yorkton, the Broncos were a little slow to start, but gained momentum as the game went on.
The Terriers scored first at 9:42 of the first period. But the Broncos tied the game at one with a goal by Adam Antkowiak, assisted by Andrew Johnston and Robbie Ciolfi, at 14:21.
In the second, the Terriers pulled ahead again with goals at 8:12 and 17:37 on Bronco goalie Deven Dubyk.
But being down just seemed to spur Humboldt on.
Ciolfi got a goal of his own, assisted by Johnston, at 19:47 of the second.
The Broncos tied the game at three with another goal at 11:16 of the third, scored by Riley Kieser and assisted by Josh Roach.
Humboldt took the lead for the first time in the game at 15:44 of the third, on a goal by Antkowiak, assisted by Johnston and Ciolfi once again.
Yorkton, unable to recover, fell to Humboldt 4-3.
Penalties in the game were minimal but minor.
The Broncos outshot the Terriers 41 to 31, and neither team was able to score on the power play, though Humboldt got four and Yorkton, three.
Ciolfi was the only Bronco listed as a star of the game, despite Humboldt winning.
The next day, Humboldt traded 19-year-old defenceman Jake Rawlins to the St. Albert Saints of the AJHL for Dane Olsen. The Broncos then sent Olson and future considerations to the Neepawa Natives of the MJHL for 1992-born forward John Lawrence.
And that night, they played the Melville Millionaires in Melville.
This time, though the Broncos outshot the Mils 40 to 38, they ended up on the losing end of a 1-0 score.
The only goal of the game was scored in the final minute of a five-minute overtime period, by TJ Reeve of the Mils. Deven Dubyk was in net for the Broncos.
There was more action on the penalty side. Tyler Bird of the Mils was boxed for two minutes and out of the game for 10 for a blow to the head early in the second.
A fight broke out later in the second between William Plourde of the Broncos and Andre Parker of the Mils. Both were given five for fighting at 12:59.
Both teams failed to score on the power play - Humboldt was zero for four, and Melville zero for one.
Dubyk was the only Bronco named as a star of the game.
The final away game of the week also ended in a loss for the Broncos, this time by a score of 6-4 to the Battlefords North Stars.
Humboldt scored first, on a power play, at 6:40 of the first. Andrew Johnston got the point, assisted by Adam Antkowiak and Robbie Ciolfi.
The Stars tied it up with a goal at 16:13 of the first, and then took the lead with goals at 7:34, 11:47, 12:55 and 13:43 of the second.
The Broncos scored again to make it a 5-2 game at 14:28 of the second. Ciolfi got the point, assisted by Johnston.
Ciolfi got Humboldt's third goal at the two minute mark of the third, assisted by Josh Roach and Kameren Ballas.
But the Stars were able to get another goal on Bronco netminder Deven Dubyk at 7:47 of the third.
The Broncos did get one more at 19:36 of the third, scored by Roach and assisted by Johnston, but were unable to get the game any closer than that.
Penalties were minor on the Humboldt side, but on the Stars side, Jake Daughtry was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct for a blow to the head.
Humboldt beat the Stars when it came to shots on goal - 44 to 34 - and were better on the power play, going one for five, while the Stars were zero for four.
Ciolfi was named as the second star of the game.
