Terriers (12-10-1) @ Red Wings (16-3-0-4)

The Yorkton Terriers hook up with the Weyburn Red Wings for the fourth time this season tonight (7:20 on GX94).

- Weyburn leads the season series 2-1. Yorkton won the season opener 3-1 on home ice, but the Wings have since won two games by 5-1 scores, and have out-scored the Terriers 11-5 in the three head-to-head matchups.

- Rhett Bly (pictured) is finding his stride for the Wings. Bly takes a 5 game point streak (1g-6a-7p) into tonight's contest, and has hit the scoresheet in 9 of his last 10 games (6g-8a-14p). He leads the team with 15g, 14a, 29p.

- Bly's right-winger is Tyler Penny (13-12-25). Penny's been a model of consistency all season. He's had seven multi-point games, and has never had more than 2 points in a game, but has been held pointless in just 4 of the 22 games he's played in. Penny has a 9-game point streak coming into tonight (9-4-13).

- The third member of Weyburn's top trio is former Estevan Bruin Brennan Wrigley (7-11-18). Wrigley has a 4-game streak going (2g-4a-6p).

- Surprisingly enough, despite 11 goals in 3 games against the Terriers, that top line hasn't been a factor, combining for just 5 points (Bly/Penny 1g, 1a each, Wrigley 1a). Chris Daniels has been Weyburn's top scorer against Yorkton, with 2-2-4 in 3 games. Brock Appelyard (3g) and Lucas Ulmer (3a) have 3 points each vs YOR.

- You might remember at the start of the season I put a poll on the blog asking which Yorkton Terrier has the best chance of scoring 20 goals this season, as it hasn't been done in Terrier land in the last two seasons. I also predicted it would happen at least once. Torey Stott leads the team with 9 goals, and is on pace for 22.7. Jordan Menke has 7 in 23 games, Clarke Breitkreuz has 6 in 17. Both are on pace for just under 20.

- G Luke Boechler leads the SJHL with 3 shutouts. He also has 3 wins (3-2-1). If they keep going with their 3 man rotation, it would make tonight Joel Danyluk's (3-2, 2.88, .912, 1SO) turn to start.

- Weyburn's been rotating their two 20 goalies for the most part this season. Who would you rather face? A.J. Whiffen (7-1-0-3, 2.06, .927, 1SO)? Or Tanner Erickson (9-2-0-1, 2.44, .927, 2SO)? Yikes.

- No member of the Terriers has more than 2 points in 3 games vs Weyburn. Bourhis, Byczynski and Zubko (1g, 1a) and Skagen (2a) are tied for the team lead.

- Kevin Stringfellow (23-5-8-13) leads the Terriers in scoring away from home, with (3-3-6) in 10 games (tied with Clarke Breitkreuz).

- The Terriers' penalty kill is an SJHL-best 84.3%. In the month of November (6 games), Yorkton's given up just 4 powerplay goals in 36 chances, good for 88.9%. Special teams could be in the Terriers' favour, as the Wings, despite leading the league in points, have just the 9th best PP in the league (16.9%).
