Terriers beat Bombers in Saturday afternoon matchup

YORKTON – The Terriers took on the Flin Flon Bombers Saturday afternoon at Westland Arena in some spicy SJHL action.

The Terriers wasted no time, with Karsten Kruska scoring at 0:21 of the first.  Later, teammate Greg Nelson would have his way with the puck, scoring at 11:28.  The latter half of the first would see the Bombers on the board with Drew Kuzma scoring at 16:31 on the power play and teammate Gabriel Shipper hitting the target at 17:53 making it a 2 – 2 game heading into the second.

The lone goal of the second came by way of the Terriers' Clay Sleeva at 16:45, assisted by Zach McIntyre and Colby Vranai.  Now a 2 – 3 game for the home town gang going into the third.

Early in the third, at 0:46, Vranai would escort the puck to the net on the power play, assisted by teammates Clay Sleeva and Tanner Sklaruk.  The puck wouldn't see a net again until 15:12 when the Bomber's Jaeden Mercier scored on the power play.  Flin Flon wasn't able to build enough momentum in the late game push and the Terriers put another win on their 2021-2022 regular season record.  Final score 3 – 4.  

Tresor Wotton was in net for the Terriers, taking on 39 shots and blocking 36.

Both Cal Schell and Ben Montgomery spent some time in net for the Bombers.  Schell saw 20 shots, saving 18.  Montgomery took on 16 shots, saving 14.  

The Terriers won't be on the ice again until next weekend when they hit the road for back to back games, facing the Weyburn Red Wings Saturday night and the Nipawin Hawks on Sunday.
