Tyler Murray opened the scoring for Melville, but the sticks went silent after that, as the red hot Melville Millionaires fell 2-1 at home to the Kindersley Klippers Saturday night.
The Mils were out-shot 22-12 through the first two periods, but turned that around in the third, out-shooting Kindersley 18-5 in the final frame, and 30-27 for the game, but couldn't beat Klipper goalie Ryan Nieszner late. Nieszner made 29 saves in the win, while Travis Bosch kicked out 25 for the home team.
Melville had gone 9 games without a regulation loss before Saturday, and the loss marked their first of the season at home, going a perfect 8-0 at the Stadium up until that point. The loss also marked just the 3rd time in 22 games the Mils left the ice without at least a single point.
The Mils are still first in the Sherwood Conference at 17-3-2, 5 points ahead of the third place Klippers. Both teams have now played 22 games.
The Blue and White now get set for another huge week with a home and home with Weyburn (Tue @ Wey, Wed @ home) this Tuesday and Wednesday, and another home and home against Yorkton this Friday and Saturday (Fri @ Yor, Sat @ home).
