Rogers does it again as Mustangs take shootout win over Terriers

Melfort Mustangs forward Lincoln Rogers scored the shootout winner as the Melfort Mustangs took a 3-2 decision over the visiting Yorkton Terriers on Saturday.

Rogers performed his patented move as the fifth Melfort shooter, as they won the skills competition by a 2-1 margin.

“I don’t even know how he does it; I’ve tried it in practice, I can’t do it, I’ve heard lots of guys can’t do it either, but hopefully, we can keep that a secret… can only keep it a secret so long when you keep scoring on it, though,” explained Mustangs assistant coach Clarke Huxley.

Saturday marked the first of four meetings between the Stangs and the Terriers, as the Blue and Green have now played every team in the SJHL.

With the win, Melfort improved to 11-4-1.

“We definitely didn’t have our best at all times, and that’s first and foremost, we can definitely clean up some things, but as a coach, it’s good to see that we can win those games. You’re not going to have your best every single time, so sometimes you’ve got to gut out a win like that. We were short-benched a little bit, but guys stepped up, and we came away with two points,” added Huxley.

The clash with Yorkton was the first for the Mustangs in 10 days, as now they’ll not play again for another six days, when they look to continue what is now a five-game point streak.
