North Stars show better effort in second win of season
It may have been the same result – a win against the Kindersley Klippers – but the Battlefords North Stars put in more effort Saturday night in Kindersley for their second game of a home and home series.
Their Finning Division rival only mustered 24 shots on goal on Saturday at home, after posting 30 in Friday’s game, a tally North Stars head coach Nate Bedford said was just too many shots allowed.
With the win, the North Stars improve to 2-0 on the season, along with four other teams in the league: the Estevan Bruins, Flin Flon Bombers, Melfort Mustangs, and Weyburn Red Wings.
“I think you’ve got to credit our forwards,” associate coach Braeden Johnson said after the win. “They created a lot of scoring chances and we were lucky to [capitalize] on them.”
