5-1 MILS AGAIN / SHERWOOD STRUGGLES AT MJ SHOWCASE

For the second straight night, the Melville Millionaires defeated the Yorkton Terriers 5-1.

This time, it was their first win at Horizon Credit Union Centre, and it also got their record back to .500 (3-3-1-1).

Alex Wakaluk came even closer to getting his first SJHL shutout, before Yorkton's Austin Lewis beat him with just 3:46 remaining in the third.

Ian McNulty had 7 points in the weekend home and home, following Friday's 4 pointer with two goals and an assist at home. Jesse Mireau added two assists. The other three Mils' goals all came from defensemen- Brett Kipling, Bob Pond, and Tyson Newell.

The special teams numbers also looked very similar to Friday's game, with the Mils going 3/7 on the PP, while Yorkton was 0/5.

How tight is the Sherwood Conference in the early going? The Mils were tied for last coming into the weekend. Now they're tied for 2nd, with three other teams, including the Terriers.
