Terriers Fall in OT in Kindersley

An outstanding game at the WCEC in Kindersley saw the Yorkton Terriers drop a 3-2 (OT) decision.

The Terriers never led, but were able to tie the game twice, before Kindersley's Ben Ritchie scored the overtime winner 1:29 into the extra frame.

Jordan Braid scored the first period's only goal for the Klippers, but Kirk Byczynski tied it up in the second.  With less than 5 minutes left, Scott Linnell gave the Klippers the lead again, but with 14.7 on the clock, with the goalie out, Greg Coburn forced overtime with a big powerplay goal.

The Terriers are now 22-16-1-7, and with Kindersley getting the extra point, they're now 3 points up on Yorkton for third in the Sherwood.  Estevan also picked up a 5-4 win in La Ronge, bringing them 2 points back of the Terriers for fourth.

Yorkton's in Humboldt tonight (WED)... catch the action on GX94, starting with the Pre Game Show at 7:20.

Mils trail the Red Wings by 4 pts for first in the Sherwood, but have 4 games in hand.

Is it too early to say the winner of this game will finish first?  Probably.  But I'll say it anyway.  The winner of this game will finish first.
