YORKTON - Yorkton’s Secon Maulers were on the road Friday for male AAA Midget action in Saskatoon taking on the league’s front running Blazers.
It was 3-0 for the host team on goals by Brayden Smith, Reese Hamilton and Josh Knittig, all second period efforts, before Kyle Weisgarber put the Maulers on the scoresheet.
Unfortunately for Yorkton the unassisted effort by Weisgarber would be the only goal of the contest.
Raiden Zacharias made it 4-1 before the end of the second period, and Preston Baerwold would add a third period goal for Saskatoon as they salted away a 5-1 win.
Wyatt Bouvier took the loss in the Mauler net facing 32-shots, while Alex Garrett earned the win facing 25-shots in the Blazer goal.
The Mauler loss leaves the squad with a 12-14-0-3 record for 27 points and ninth spot in the league. Yorkton sits one point behind eighth place Moose Jaw and eight up on the 10th spot Estevan Bears.
The Blazers hold top spot with 56 points 12 better than Regina.
The Mauler’s next action is Wednesday taking on the Moose Jaw Winmar Warriors and Warman Wildcats Saturday, both are road contests.
