Both goaltenders had a heavy workload on Saturday as the Estevan PowerTech Panthers defeated the Diefenbaker Thunder 4-1.
The Panthers shot 51 pucks at Thunder netminder Jillian Flynn, while Estevan starter Brianna Cote stopped 36 of 37 shots sent her way.
The win improves the Panthers' record to 9-4-1 in the midget AA division of the South Saskatchewan Female Hockey League, while the Thunder drop to 2-6-1.
The Panthers were also slated to visit the Notre Dame Hounds on Sunday, but the game was postponed.
On Saturday at the Civic Auditorium, a three-goal second period paced the Panthers to victory.
After a scoreless first, the Panthers got on the board just 16 seconds into the middle frame on a goal by Ashley Chapman.
Taylor Colbow gave the Panthers a two-goal cushion midway through the period on a power play, beating Flynn five-hole to finish off an end-to-end rush.
Later in the period, Jenna Kreklewich knocked in a rebound on a scramble in front of the Thunder net to make it 3-0.
The visitors got on the board five minutes into the third, with Brooklyn Braun tipping a shot home.
It didn't take long for the Panthers to get that one back, as three minutes later Hailey Dukart took the puck at the side of the net, turned and fired it over Flynn's glove to make it 4-1.
The Panthers will play their last two games before Christmas this weekend. They visit Moose Jaw on Friday before returning home Saturday to play the Kamsack Flyers. Game time is 7:30 p.m. at Affinity Place.
The team is asking people to bring a non-perishable food item to the game to donate to the Salvation Army. Anyone who does so will be admitted to the game free.
