The Yorkton Terriers and Battlefords North Stars hooked up in a defensive struggle Saturday.
Game two of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League semi-final started with a goalless first period.
In the second period neither Terrier netminder Ryan Ouellette or Battlefords Joel Grzybowski would yield a goal, sending the teams to the third period still knotted 0-0.
By the end of the third Ouellette had turned away all 31-shots he had faced in the contest, a performance matched by Grzybowski who stopped all 36 he had faced in the game.
That set up sudden-death for the game.
It would take 11:37 of extra time before a rubber disk made it to the twine. The goal by Quintin Loon-Stewardson gave the home side a 1-0 win, and a two-games-to-none lead in the best-of-seven series.
The series now heads to the Farrell Agencies Arena in Yorkton for games three and four Tuesday and Wednesday.
In the other semi-final Melfort won game two by a 3-1 score over visiting Estevan, to takes a two-games-to-none lead in their best-of-seven series.
