Wings too much for Terriers -- twice

By Calvin Daniels & Tyson Off Staff Writers

After an old-fashioned shoot-out in Yorkton where Weyburn topped the host Terriers 7-5, the teams met again Saturday on Red Wing ice.

In this showdown the goaltenders took control.

The duo of Yorkton’s Caleb Allen and Weyburn’s Eric Kahl combined to stop all but one shot in the first period.

The lone goal belonged to Ryley Morgan, a powerplay marker with only 12 seconds left in the period to give the home side a 1-0 lead.

The netminders stayed stingy in the middle frame with again only one goal allowed. Again it was a powerplay effort late – at 18:04 – this one by Cade Kennedy of the Terriers to tie the game 1-1.

In the third the Wings finally broke away as Braigh LeGrandeur scored at the 9-minute marker and Jackson Hassman added a powerplay effort at 19:13 for a 3-1 Wings win. Allen faced 35 shots in the loss, with Kahl facing the same number for the win.

Tuesday the Terriers gave up five goals to the Red Wings in the first period on home ice starting with Jakob Kalin at 8:36, Ryley Morgan at 9:36, a successful power play effort from Jackson Hassman at 10:44. At 16:00 of the period the Terriers swapped goal- ie Caleb Allen and replaced him with Tysen Smith for the duration of the game. Another power play goal at 16:09 came by way of Blake Betson and the final goal of the period came by way of Max Henderson at 17:34.

The second period was a change of pace for the Terriers. Quintin Unreiner put the team on the board at 11:48 and Dylan Ruptash made use of a power play effort, scoring at 15:56. The Red Wings — still up by three points — managed another at 17:04, with Hassman claiming his second goal of the game.

Feeling the pressure of a four-goal deficit the Terriers knew they had to turn things up to stay in the match. At 5:35 Terrier Brett Butz
