The Yorkton Terriers erased a late 4-2 deficit and beat the Estevan Bruins 5-4 in a shootout on Wednesday night.
In his first game as a Terrier since being traded from Weyburn in exchange for Yorkton captain Dexter Robinson this week, Matthew Jones started the comeback in the third period and would later score the shootout winner.
Defenseman Karstin McDonald tied the game with his first SJHL goal with 3:06 left in regulation. Cody Dubas and Evan Nicholas scored the others for the Terriers (5-19-2-0). The Terriers were outshot 55-29, but Joe Marcouiller made 51 saves, and has won 2 of his 3 starts as a Terrier.
Kaelan Holt (2g-2a), Hayden Guilderson (2g-1a) and Jake Fletcher (3a) were responsible for most of the offensive stats for the Bruins (16-10-2-1).
