The Battlefords AAA Stars won their third straight game on Thursday evening, this time picking up a 5-2 victory on the road over the Beardy’s Blackhawks.

They are now 10-10 this season, which has them in a tie for eighth place in the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League standings.

Joseph Young was stellar on Thursday, recording 44 saves for his fourth win of the season. It was also the fourth time in 12 starts this year that he has made at least 40 saves.

Young also had the only assist on Adam Beckman’s empty-net goal with 2:27 to go in the third period, which put the game out of reach at 5-1.

Beckman and Ty Mosimann continued to pile up the points for Battlefords, as Beckman had a hat-trick and an assist, while Mosimann had one goal and two helpers. The duo are each on five-game point streaks, Beckman with 13 points in his last five and Mosimann with 11 points in his last five.
