The Prince Albert Mintos chalked up another tally in the win column Wednesday night, edging the Tisdale Trojans 5-4 in overtime at the Art Hauser Centre.
The win helps P.A. improve to 6-4-0-0 (W-L-OTL-SOL) and marks the Mintos fourth victory in their last five games, with one of those also coming against Tisdale.
The Trojans had the upper hand after one period of play, but not before the Mintos broke the ice. Carter Hryciuk got the party started for P.A. late in the first, however, the Trojan’s Jacob Tait, who originally hails from Prince Albert, answered back less than 40 seconds later to pull the game back to even. Tait would score again, just 21 seconds after his first marker, to put the Trojans out in front after the opening frame.
After Preston Hoppe made it 3-1 Tisdale less than two minutes into the second, Xander Pritchard had an answer for P.A. 16 seconds later, which was also his first goal of the season and first in AAA. The rookies kept rolling in the period as Jakob Schmidt potted his first in AAA a couple moments later to even it up.
