A wild game to finish off Day Two of the Western Canada Cup in Dauphin, with the SJHL champion Yorkton Terriers pulling out an 8-6 win over the host Dauphin Kings.
Brett Boehm had three goals and an assist for the Terriers, with all three of his goals coming in the second period as Yorkton built a 6-3 lead.
Dauphin battled back with goals from Tanner Butler and Dillan McCombie in the opening 91 seconds of the final frame to pull to within one.
Kailum Gervais restored a two-goal advance for Yorkton at 4:23 before Tanner Lomsnes got Dauphin back to within a goal at 7-6 just past the midway mark of the third period.
The Kings couldn’t get the equalizer and the Terriers salted away the victory with an empty-net goal from Gervais in the final minute.
Gervais finished with two goals and two assists for the Terriers while Lomsnes led the Kings’ offensively with two goals and one helper.
Both teams will get Monday off before resuming round-robin play on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, yesterday’s other game saw the BCHL Champion Coquitlam Express pick up a 3-1 victory over Alberta’s Spruce Grove Saints.
Ryan Rosenthal scored twice for Coquitlam while Gordie Defiel stopped 31 shots in the Express net.
Coquitlam will face the Manitoba champion Winnipeg Blues in the only game on Monday (7 p.m., Credit Union Place).
