North Stars shut out by Red Wings at home
‘Frustrating’ was the word of choice for assistant coach Boyd Wakelin in the Battlefords North Stars 1-0 loss to the Weyburn Red Wings on home ice on Saturday night.
The North Stars outshot Weyburn 31-20, and likely had another 20 (at least) blocked.
Not to mention, defenceman Conor Jensen was called for roughing with 2:25 left in the game, right as the North Stars were pushing to tie the game. The call was just the third penalty called by the referees all night long.
“Not really the time in the game you expect one that could go either way to be called, but I guess I’ll just leave it at that,” Wakelin said. “I’d categorize [this loss] as frustrating. I thought we carried the play for the most part and just didn’t capitalize and just didn’t get to the areas that you need to get to to score in a close game like this.”
