On Saturday at Rotary Place the Terriers rebounded, skating to a convincing 6-2 victory over the Midland Flyers. The Terriers scored three goals in the first six minutes before Midland answered back, with the Terriers leading 3-1 after the first period.. 

The Terriers scored three goals in the second period to put the game out of reach, coasting to a 6-2 win in front of 249 fans.

The top line again led the way with both Fuller and McLean each notching a goal and three assists. Palomaki had two goals and an assist, while Finn Price and Cody Zachariah each scored to round out the scoring. Evan Feltis chipped in with two assists. Nathan Hunter was in net for the victory..
