YORKTON TERRIERS 2, NIPAWIN HAWKS 1 (OT)
Thomas Ries played the hero for the Yorkton Terriers, scoring just 59 seconds into overtime to lift his team to a 2–1 victory over the Nipawin Hawks on Tuesday night — their second straight win.
The Terriers opened the scoring in the first period when Jye Zawatsky netted his fifth of the season. Nipawin pulled even early in the second as Mason Karakochuk tied the game 1–1, and from there both teams locked into a defensive battle.
After a scoreless third period, Ries sealed the win in extra time to give Yorkton its seventh win of the year.
Goaltender Callum Creig was sharp once again, turning aside 38 shots for the victory, while Hawks netminder Gage Roberts matched him with 38 saves in the overtime loss.
The Terriers return home Friday night to face the Battlefords North Stars in their final home game for three weeks. Nipawin will try to snap its two-game skid when they host the Melville Millionaires the same night.
