For the eighth straight time to begin the season, the Melfort Mustangs came up with another win Saturday night, defeating the visiting Notre Dame Hounds 5-2.

Evan Plotnik once again got the start, and picked up his 8th straight win on the year.

A wild and crazy, back and forth game in Yorkton saw Estevan’s Michael McChesney become this season’s first player to hit the 10-goal plateau, and he did so in overtime (in just his 8th game of the year), helping the Bruins to a 5-4 (OT) win.
The Terriers led 2-0 early on, gave up a late 3-2 lead and trailed in the dying seconds, before tying it up and forcing overtime with just six seconds left, before McChesney’s winner, and he finished with a goal and two assists.
Zach Goberis and defenseman Johnny Witzke also had a goal and two helpers, while TJ Irey (1g-1a) and Tanner Manz also scored. Maxim Sidelnik got the win making 43/47 saves. Goberis leads the league with 21 points (9g-12a) in 8 games.
After a scoreless opening 20, Cody Illerbrun and Chantz Petruic had the Terriers up 2-0 seven minutes into the second. Kaleb Bell made it 3-1 Yorkton early in the third, before the Bruins rattled off three straight to take the lead, and then Shane Sherban tied it again in the dying seconds.
16-year-old Nolan Maier made 54/58 saves in goal for the Terriers.

The Flin Flon Bombers scored four second period goals en route to a 7-0 blanking of Melville.
Brenden Newton made 23 saves for the shutout, as the Bombers beat the Millionaires for a second straight night, out-shooting them 51-23 on Saturday.
The Bombers used seven different goal scorers, including the usually stay-at-home defenseman Ben Lanfermann who had a goal and three assists. Daylan Marchi played set-up man, racking up three assists of his own. Chrystopher Collin (1g-1a), Nick Shumlanski (1g-1a), Tyler Nyman, Nate Hooper and Caleb Moritz rounded out the attack.
