The Wilkie Outlaws are headed to the Senior A provincial men’s hockey quarter-finals.
In the third and deciding game of their opening round series with the Meadow Lake Broncos, netminder Jared Herle made 40 saves as the Outlaws picked up a 4-0 win on the road Saturday night.
Derek Keller, Patrick Cey, Brett Harrison and Rory Gregoire all scored for the Outlaws in the victory.
With the win, the Outlaws will now take on the Prairie Outlaws from Waldheim in the next round.
The dates for the best-of-three quarter-final series have yet to be announced.
The winner of the battle of the Outlaws will take on either the Kindersley Red Lions or the Wakaw Lakers in the semifinals.
Meanwhile, the semifinal series are now set in the Saskatchewan West Hockey League.
The Outlaws, who earned a first round bye as the best team in the regular season, will be taking on the Red Lions in a best-of-five affair.
The fourth-ranked Red Lions completed a sweep of the fifth seeded Eatonia Huskies Sunday evening.
The other semifinal matchup will see the second ranked Macklin Mohawks go up against third seeded Luseland/Dodsland Mallards.
The Mallards advanced with a two-game sweep over the sixth ranked Kerrobert Tigers, while the Mohawks avoided an upset with a 3-2 win at home over the seventh seeded Biggar Nationals in a third and deciding game Sunday night.
The dates and times for both SWHL series have yet to be finalized.
