Oh, those troublesome Yorkton Terriers.
Wednesday, for the fourth time this season, the Viterra Division’s last place Terriers defeated the Power Dodge Estevan Bruins. Their 3-1 win was their fourth win of the SJHL season against the Bruins, and was the team’s ninth win of the year.
Kaelan Holt scored the Bruins’ only goal of the game at 3:52 of the second period, tying the game. The Bruins surrendered all three goals in the period. The Bruins fired 41 shots on Yorkton netminder Ben Laidlaw.
Matt Lukacs stopped 20 of 23 shots in the Bruins’ net.
The Bruins are now done with Yorkton for the rest of the season.
The Bruins are spending most of the next few weeks letting the rest of the league catch up to them in games played. The Bruins had the weekend off of game action this weekend and with the SJHL equivalent of a bye week, the Bruins won’t be back in action until Jan. 30 at Humboldt, the result of which was unavailable at press time.
The Bruins have a busy rest of the week, starting with Wednesday at the Kindersley Klippers and Friday at the Battlefords North Stars. They close out that road trip Saturday at the Humboldt Broncos.
The Weyburn Red Wings, who only last weekend were six points behind the Bruins, have now caught a little bit up by winning one of their games last week.
The Bruins’ next home game is Feb. 14 against the Weyburn Red Wings.
