The road weary Broncos returned home suffering another tough loss away from the Elgar Petersen Arena dropping a 5-1 decision in LaRonge Saturday night.

Five on five play the Broncos won the battle 1-0 but they gave up two power play goals and three more while short-handed including two in the first period 16 seconds apart during the same Ice Wolves minor penalty.

Assistant Coach Brayden Klimosko remembered a time a previous Humboldt team allowed a trio while up a man.

"Actually I think I remember, I was part of one of those teams that gave up three and it wasn't a good night. It wasn't a good night here tonight, it really wasn't. It wasn't good, like we we're saying before we should have declined the penalties I think at the end of the day. Giving up three short-handed like that, it just can't happen."

The game was very similar in the way it unfolded in the first, much like Friday's downfall in Flin Flon.

LaRonge opened the scoring on a power-play when Nick Prouty redirected a point shot past Ryan LaRochelle making it 1-0, 6:40 in.

Then the Broncos generated a power-play but the wheels fell off.

Matt Painchaud beat LaRochelle on an odd-man rush to make it 2-0, that was quickly followed by Cole Porter's first of the night giving the Wolves a comfortable 3-0 lead after the first frame.

Humboldt did manage to produce the next goal, Michael Korol battled in front of Kris Joyce banging his eighth of the year home from Andrew McCann and Daniel McKitrick to close the gap to 3-1 but they wouldn't get any closer.

Porter's second of the game on the power-play at 18:24 of the middle period restored the three goal lead for LaRonge heading to the third.

Porter completed his second hat trick of the season against Humboldt at 13:53 of the final period rounding out the scoring making it 5-1.

With the four goal margin, Klimosko went back to the couple minutes in the first where they got caught watching the play.

"If you can't get up for 60 minutes of hockey you don't deserve to win at this time of year anyways. That's typical, you know that, I know that. It's February hockey here in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League, everyone needs points and you're not going to have an easy night ever and that's just the way it is and it showed here tonight."

For the second straight night Humboldt needed two goaltenders, Ryan LaRochelle was pulled after allowing three goals on nine shots, Carter Seminuk stopped 32 of 34 in relief. Joyce made 28/29 overall.

The Broncos finished the contest 0/3 on the power-play, LaRonge was 2/2 with the man advantage.

The green and gold again got some help on the scoreboard however, the Battlefords blanked Yorkton 3-0 so the Terriers remain seven points up on the Broncos for the final playoff position. Also on Saturday, Flin Flon doubled Kindersley 6-3.

Humboldt will play six of their next seven games at the EPA starting Tuesday against the Ice Wolves to close the month of February. They will then play their final three on the road.
