YORKTON - The Yorkton Terriers were in action Wednesday evening hosting Kindersley at the Westland Insurance Arena.

The second period swung in the favour of the Klippers.

Russ Demo tied the game 1-1 with a goal at 4:22.

Then with only one second left on the clock in the period Nathan DeGraves scored for a 2-1 Kindersley lead.

Cam Perlinger scored 31 seconds into the third frame and the Klippers were up 3-1.

David Coyle scored at 13:53 to cut the Klipper lead to 3-2.

Then a goal by Jaron Desnoyers at 18:09 made it a 3-3 tie and the game headed to the five-minute overtime.

It took only 1:24 of extra time for Jeff Hammond to score and give the Terriers a 4-3 win.

Cody Jaman was in net for the Klippers facing 40-shots in the loss.

Ethan Farrow faced 22-shots in the Terrier net.

The win leaves Yorkton with a 20-27-2-2 and 44 points still last in the SJHL Viterra Division four points back of Weyburn, six back of second place Estevan and nine back of front-running Melville.
