---------------------

The Yorkton Terriers squandered a 3-0 first period lead, and wound up falling 6-5 in a shootout to the visiting Nipawin Hawks.

That's the Terriers' league-leading 4th shootout loss of the season. Infact only 5 of the league's 12 teams have a shootout loss. The Terriers are 0-and-4 in shootouts this season. But, an SOL's better than a plain old 'L'.

The Hawks' 5 regulation goals all game after the 9:31 mark of the second period... Torrie Dyck forced overtime with his second of the night late in the third.

The Terriers got goals from Cody Zubko (2), Clark Byczynski, Torey Stott and Brad Bienvenu. Jordan Menke had 2 assists.

Yorkton's now 7-6-0-4, tied for third with Kindersley, after the Klippers beat the mighty Humboldt Broncos.
