The Estevan Sherritt Coal Bruins weren't able to keep it close in either of their road games against the first-place Yorkton Terriers on the weekend.
Yorkton's high-octane offence combined for 24 goals against the Bruins in peewee AA action, defeating them 7-1 on Saturday and 17-3 on Sunday.
The Bruins (3-9-2) are tied for fourth place in the six-team league, while the Terriers (10-1-1) leapfrogged Weyburn to take over top spot in the South Saskatchewan Minor Hockey League.
Estevan scored early in Saturday's game, but it was all Yorkton after that, as they scored six unanswered goals.
Kaeden Korczak opened the scoring for the Terriers with an unassisted marker at the 7:25 mark.
The Bruins tied it less than two minutes later on a Cale Adams goal, but that was it for their offence on the day.
The Terriers added goals from Troy Bryksa and Kishaun Gervais only 79 seconds apart later in the period to take a 4-1 lead after one.
Bryksa's second of the night eight minutes into the second added to the Terriers' cushion, and Korczak's second late in the frame put the hosts ahead 6-1 after two periods.
Gervais became the third Terrier to score two goals in the game with the team's seventh tally barely two minutes into the third.
Zach McIntyre capped off the rout with less than seven minutes to play.
Justin Hertes was in goal for the Bruins.
Although Estevan managed three goals on Sunday, the Terriers waged a full-out attack on the Bruins' net, exploding for nine goals in the first period alone.
As if that wasn't enough, Yorkton added three more goals in the second and five in the third.
McIntyre and Bryksa had four goals apiece, with Aiden Bulych (3), Ethan Evanovich (2), Jackson Berezowski (2), Chace Sperling and Korczak also scoring.
Gervais had seven assists and Bulych boasted a six-point afternoon.
Dawson Schaff was the star for the Bruins, figuring in on all three of their tallies, with two goals and an assist. He scored a power play marker five minutes into the third and another with 47 seconds to play.
Josh Romanyk supplied Estevan's other goal in the second period.
The Bruins are now done until after Christmas, not returning to league action until Jan. 11, when they host the Moose Jaw Warriors.
