This weekend, the Yorkton Terriers (2-7-0-0) were in action against the Humboldt Broncos (6-3-0-0) in a home-and-home.
In Game 1, the Terriers used two early goals and solid goaltending to beat the Humboldt Broncos Friday night.
Yorkton opened the scoring with a goal from Maddux Nollski (4) gust 43 seconds into the game. Just eight seconds later, Steven Norum would score his first of the season to give the Terriers a two-goal lead in the first minute.
The Broncos would cut the lead to one as Ethan Zielke scored his first of the season shorthanded.
Both teams would do all they could to try and muster offence, but both goaltenders would shut the door for the rest of the game, as Terriers backstop Kael DePape would make 20 saves in a 2-1 Yorkton win.
In Game 2 of the home-and-home, Yorkton again opened up the scoring once again as JD Hall (2) scored. Humboldt would respond with two goals in the first as Connor McGrath and Lucas Ceccarelli both scored.
The second period would quiet, despite a combined 22 shots in the frame. The third period would also remain quiet until Connor McGrath scored his second of the game for Humboldt to give them a 3-1 lead.
The score would remain that way as the Broncos skating off with a split in the weekend series.
The Terriers improved to 3-8-0-0 on the season and picked up their first home win on Friday night. Next, up for the Terriers, they host the Weyburn Red Wings (3-4-1-0) on Tuesday.
