Elsewhere in Melville, the Millionaires moved back ahead of idle Estevan for seventh with their 4-0 triumph over the Warman Wolverines.
Matt Spencer-Dahl stopped all 21 shots he faced for his third shutout of the season, which places him second in the league in shutouts despite featuring in only 19 contests at the time of writing.
