Strong third period leads North Stars to 5th straight win
After a 13-day break, perhaps it’s not surprising the Battlefords North Stars started Friday’s game like they were shot out of a cannon.
The North Stars played the Yorkton Terriers, a team they have beaten all three times so far this season. In their last game on Saturday, Feb. 6 they’d shutout Yorkton 3-0 on the road.
Still, it was the Terriers who jumped on the board early. Just under three minutes into the game, a centring pass deflected off of Kailum Gervais and past Tyler Fuhr to give the Terriers the lead.
The North Stars just didn’t seem like their normal selves, missing passes they’ve connected on all season. They also didn’t get much puck luck throughout the first 40 minutes of the game.
