North Stars winning streak ends after Bruins offence explodes
Their winning streak is over.
Coming into Saturday’s game against the second place Estevan Bruins, the North Stars knew it wouldn’t be easy to push their winning streak to 14 games. But nobody expected they would lose in the fashion they did: an 8-6 loss in front of their home fans.
“It’s easy to pinpoint where we went wrong. We have eight examples of it plus more,” head coach Nate Bedford said after the loss, just the team’s sixth of the season through 27 games. “I think [the Bruins] probably had somewhere around 15 to 18 scoring chances by my count and against a good team that can score goals, you’re not going to win.”
Coming into the game, the Bruins had put up back-to-back seven goal games, first against Humboldt on Thursday and then against Kindersley on Friday, winning both.
