YORKTON - Home ice was just the medicine the Melville Millionaires needed to get back into their best-of-seven playoff set with Yorkton.
The Terriers had won the two opening games of the series at the Westland Insurance Arena in Yorkton but Tuesday action headed south down Highway #10 to meet in game three at the CN Community Centre with the home side very much in need of a win.
Things started well for the home side as Gaborik Carlson scored the only goal of the opening 20-minutes to give the Mills a 1-0 lead.
The Melville powerplay then went into action early in the second period with Raiden Zacharias scoring with the man advantage at 1:46 and Carlson doing the same at 6:12.
When Brendan Olson scored an unassisted effort at 17:53 the Mills had a strangle hold on the game up 4-0.
Thierry Laliberte finally gave Terrier fans some hope at he potted a goal for Yorkton at 18:31 leaving the game 4-1 through 40-minutes of action.
At 11:41 of the third period William Leonard scored making it 4-2, but there would be no comeback for Yorkton after that, as Simon Parini added an unassisted effort for Melville at 19:23 to round out a 5-2 win for the home side.
Ethan Farrow was tagged with the loss in the Terrier net allowing three goals on 21 shots, with Callum Creig also facing 21-shots allowing two.
Ben Laurette faced 40-shots in earning the win for Melville.
Game four is set for tonight (Wednesday) again in Melville.
