Johnson’s 5-point night leads North Stars over Mustangs
For just a little while, it felt a bit like déjà vu: the Battlefords North Stars getting a comfortable lead and then having it quickly start to disappear.
On Tuesday night, their 2-0 lead heading into the third period against Kindersley turned into a 3-2 deficit in the blink of an eye and then became a 4-2 loss.
On Wednesday, their 4-0 lead early in the second period against Melfort turned into 4-1, then 4-2, then 4-3.
But this time, the North Stars turned in one of their best third period performances of the season, stretching their 4-3 lead to 5-3, 6-3, and finally, 7-3.
