The Yorkton Hyundai Terriers might have been wearing Halloween jerseys based on the Ghostbusters-theme, but on this night they were Red Win Busters.
With Weyburn second in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League’s Viterra Division visiting the first place Terriers, the game was a big one.
And, in the first period the Terriers came out like they recognized it was an opportunity to put some added distance between themselves as the first place team with the chasing Wings. Yorkton out shot the Red Wings 16-8 in the opening frame, while outscoring them 3-0/
Riley Egan started the scoring 2:43 into the contest, with Alec Zawatsky adding a powerplay marker at 11:21 and then Tyson Janzen finding the twine at 17:23.
The teams settled in the second with Yorkton managing only six shots and the Wings eight, but neither team finding a goal.
In the third, Zawatsky added his second of the contest 26 seconds in, to round out an eventual 4-0 win for the Terriers.
Ryan Ouellette recorded the shut-out in the Yorkton net stopping all 23-shots he faced.
Noah Decottignies took the loss for Weyburn facing 23-shots as well.
