The Performance Centre Turbos closed the gap in the hunt for first place by edging the league leading Yukon Inn 3-2 in Whitehorse Oldtimer hockey action Sunday.

In other games yesterday, The Klondyke Dental Molars and Medicine Chest played to a 7-7 tie, Kilrich defeated Air North 5-3 and Tim Hortons and the Firth Rangers tied 5-5.

Chad Cowan opened the scoring for Yukon Inn with just 30 seconds gone in the game but just four minutes later Daniel Janke tied the game for the Turbos.

With the remainder of the first remaining scoreless, Jason Freake put the Turbos ahead 2-1 early in the second. Pat Tobler tied the game two minutes later and Rick Moses scored what proved to be the winner for the Turbos with just over six minutes to play, on assists from Freake and Daryl Berube.

The victory moved the Turbos into a tie for second place in the standings.
