Aiden Meintz opened the scoring for the Ice Wolves just over two minutes into the first period, before Vinak Junek tied it up with an unassisted marker in the second period.

Callun Creig stopped 27 of 28 shots to earn the victory for the Terriers who won their sixth straight to pull one point ahead of the Weyburn Red Wings for the Viterra division lead.
