YORKTON - The Yorkton Terriers earned a split in a pair of weekend road games. 

Saturday Yorkton was in LaRonge where the Ice Wolves and Terriers traded goals in the first period, with LaRonge striking only 37-seconds in on a goal by Connor Abric, with Enrique Fontes responding for Yorkton at 10:44. 

It was the same story in the second period too. 

Gavin Mattey scored on the powerplay for the Ice Wolves only 27-seconds into the middle frame, but Yorkton knotted the score 2-2 when Tyson Perkins scored a powerplay goal at 17:55. 

In the third the Terriers took the lead for the first time on the night on an unassisted goal by Tanner Sklaruk at 7:21. 

Kishaun Gervais extended the Terrier lead to 4-2 scoring at 16:05, and then Colby Vrani salted away the win making it 5-2 adding the final goal into an empty net. 

Kael DePape earned the win in the Terrier net facing only 23-shots. 

Xavier Cannon took the loss as LaRonge netminder facing 45-shots. 

A night earlier 

The Terriers were in Flin Flon Friday to play a close contest against the host Bombers. 

The two teams played through a scoreless first period. 

The home side finally took a lead 14:34 into the second period on an unassisted goal by Jeremi Tremblay. 

The Bombers extended the lead to 2-0 on the powerplay 1:10 into the third frame, a goal by Xavier Lapointe. 

And, that would be it as defense ruled the rest of the way and Flin Flon won the contest 2-0. 

Kael DePape took the loss for Yorkton, while Cal Schell recorded the shut-out for the Bombers. 

The split in games leave the Terriers with a 6-9-0-0 record at 12 points for second place in the Viterra Division, nine points back of front-running Estevan, and four up on both Weyburn and Melville with eight. 

Up next the Terriers head to Battlefords this Friday, then on to Kindersley for action Saturday.
