YORKTON - It was a holiday for most Monday but the Yorkton Terriers were in SJHL action in Humboldt.
The host Broncos took the lead with two unanswered first period goals, Rylan Hue and Maddox Amaral doing the damage.
The Terriers tied things early in the second as Tylan Henrikson at 2:44 and David Coyle at 2:56 scored.
Boris Kofman and Marik Mamic responded to push the Broncos back in front 4-2, before Jaron Desnoyers on the powerplay added a Terrier mark to make it 4-3 through 40-minutes of play.
It was a Desnoyers powerplay effort in the third – the only goal of the frame – that tied the game 4-4 and forced overtime.
The five-minute, three-on-three extra frame proved nothing and the game went to the shoot-out where the Terriers secured a road win.
Ethan Farrow was in the Terrier net facing 37-shots in the win.
Brad Holtvogt faced 34-shots in the loss for Humboldt.
