North Stars remain unbeaten in shootout after 4-3 triumph over Estevan
One goaltender stole the show in the third period, while the other took the spotlight in overtime.
In the end, only one could lead his team to victory, and that man was Joel Grzybowski, as his Battlefords North Stars topped Bo Didur and the Estevan Bruins 4-3 in a shootout on Friday night at the Civic Centre.
Grzybowski finished with 35 saves on 38 shots, including 17 third period saves, many of which kept the game tied 3-3, while Didur made 34 saves, including six in the 3-on-3 overtime, which was dominated by the North Stars.
“Both guys battled really hard. There were a few times when you think they’re down and out, and they sprawl across to make the save,” North Stars assistant coach Boyd Wakelin said after the games. “[Grzybowski] did a good job of giving us a chance to win, as our goalies do night in and night out.
